What are some other characteristics of brown recluse spiders?
Although the females tend to keep hidden, the males are more likely to be seen. Although they may do more of their travel at night, they can be seen during the day. They have small fangs and are unlikely to be able to bite through clothing. However, if they are inside shoes, gloves or other items of clothing, they may bite when the clothing is put on and the spider is under pressure.
