More envirowacko BS.
The recluse has been expanding territory since it started.
Yep. Like cockroaches, they move with people.
“Its range is poorly known”
And its scarey looking and poisonous.
And they are making predictions on its range due to that scarey global warming.
This is a perfect recipe for making nebulous claims that sound good and scarey to the average person. “Stop doing bad things that warm the globe or this spider is going to get you!!!!”, LOL.
I’m on the edge of the spider’s range and already this spring the neighbor’s dog got bit by something that necrotized the sking causing a wound 4 inches x 1 inch. It looks nasty but is now healing. Our guess is that a spider did it, too early for copperheads.
