Just killed the biggest, nastiest Brown Recluse Spider in my kitchen...

Frequently homeowners bring in brown spiders

thought to be a brown recluse. Many spiders are

mistaken for brown recluse spiders. In North Carolina

it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that you will find a recluse

spider. It is possible but incredibly unlikely since their

range extends only to the southwestern-most border of

NC.

Yeah, many people think this is a brown recluse:

It's not. It's a wolf spider. VERY common. And mostly harmless. In fact, they are beneficial in keeping infestations of other insects down.

Now this... is a brown recluse.

Notice the tiny fiddle mark behind the eyes.

I can honestly say, I've never seen one. Which is normal. They are recluse spiders because they are reclusive... they hide.

awesome spider story: once upon a time i was in australia staying in a cabin in the wilderness and it turned out it was infested with spiders. bigass hungryass spiders. i'd turn out the light and within thirty seconds i'd feel the first one scuttle across my chest, followed immediately by several more. i'm pretty sure the mattress was infested with them as well as the rest of the cabin.

after several times of turning the light off and lunging for the switch moments later i realized i either was gonna stay up all night or get bitten. i turned off the light and went to sleep. the next morning i was covered in welts. some spider with a sick sense of humor bit a smiley-face-shaped range of welts into my and. ugly asshole bug

anyway, hope you feel better OP, spiders are seriously such dicks.

Why didn't you just leave the light on, or leave?

...whatever...

      Post senior bowl PFF mock draft

      That's usually the narrative when there aren't highly touted QBs or DEs. Off ball LB is the position this year. And there are some really good prospects. WRs are deep too. No generational level guys but very deep with solid options.  I would target CJ Allen in the 1st. I want a real ILB. Not a pass rusher that can move back. Not a safety that can move up. He's smart, tough, instinctive and durable. Dude had surgery on his meniscus and missed one game. One game. And... he's only played LB. Watching him control guards with his hands andsift through the garbage to get to the ball is refreshing. That's my guy in the 1st.

      It’s always a weak draft, next year is always better according to the draftniks. This is a weak draft for QB, WR, and TE. Theres only a few true LT. RB and DB are average. It’s a good class for the rest of the Oline, Dline, Edge, and LB.

      there is only a handful of blue chippers (Reece, Styles, Downs, Love, Bain) but overall its a pretty deep draft with solid players.  Really deep on the defensive side particularly lb's so that is in our favor.  Thats why I have been saying if styles is not there at 19 (he wont be) then try to pull a Rams/Falcons type deal and get another 2nd and first for next year.  IMO there really isnt much difference in quality of players at the back half of the first into the 2nd
