Is the Brown Recluse the same as the boxing spider. These hide in wood
piles predominantly. We had an article in the paper about a year ago w/
drawings. We actually found one in the log wood hay rack in the pasture this
past summer. I was shocked to find one, they are small but very
distinguishable due to their big boxing glove looking things. Very technical
terms you know. ;o)

Hi Nicki,
I did a search on the boxing spider and no, they're not the same as the brown recluse, but I was surprised to find out that they do bite and it is painful, but they are not poisonous. I am learning a lot with this string about spiders! I will try to pass on this knowledge to my children, now that is homeschooling!
