This spider, the brown recluse, is very venomous. My mother and I were in the upstairs of my parent's house which is used for storage looking for her old Kodak Brownie camera. I saw this spider run across the top of a box but headed it off before it reached the edge. It turned and ran the other direction and I headed it off once more. It stopped and stood still. I instructed my mother to stay there to watch it while I went downstairs to set up for a shot. I also instructed her to kill it if it starts to run off. I am not in the habit of killing anything but I will make an exception for a very venomous creature that has invaded a living area. This spider is called many names such as the fiddler and banjo spider. Notice the dark brown design starting at its head which resembles a banjo.
