Please tell me you are joking!! =:-O
We are north of Dallas, south of Oklahoma.
I thought fiddlebacks only like dark damp places?
This part of the kitchen is near a large window and
pretty bright. The baker's rack has a grid-like shelf,
not solid, so it's pretty much open space under there.
The spider itself is about 1.5-2 inches long. I blew up the pic to see it better, so it's not quite chihuahua size like it looks, LOL.
Don't mind me. I've been corrected and I'm obviously wrong, although one person said your spider looks fuzzy, which it doesn't to me. I couldn't really get a good look at its shape to rule out whether or not it has the hour glass shape, but it probably isn't a brown recluse. I'd still call the exterminator if I were you.
BTW, was the pic of you spider taken after you killed him with some insecticide? The reason I ask is that its legs were drawn up.
