So I found what I believe to be a Brown Recluse spider in my house last night (it has the three eyes, the violin pattern, and looks like the pictures on the internet even though many websites say they don't live in southern Oregon...whatever...) and I want to know what they need for survival. I want to keep it alive and release it upon my enemies. ._. (His name is Norman). Created by Mandy. science-mathematics-en - zoology-en

Based on what you said, there are no BR in Oregon. There are many types of "recluse" spiders, but specifically the BR is not in Oregon or anywhere remotely near it. It might be a hobo spider, which is harmless.

BTW, I live in Tennessee where the BR is everywhere. I was bit last year and the bite healed up in about a week. This spider is so over-hyped and blown out of proportion and less than 5% of bites require any medical care.

Most spiders eat insects and not sure why you want to "release" a spider on your enemies. I always thought a good fist in the face did the trick. Good luck!
