Every spider is a brown recluse unless it's a black widow.

Here's a baby step towards spider tolerance: neither of those spiders can make a Charlotte-type web. So, any spider you see hanging out in one of these πΈοΈ is not only not a danger to you, she's taking prey and space away from the scary ones, so you want more like her to crowd them out.
I love the pointy boys that make really good webs!
The brown recluse can actually be identified by a "violin" shape on their body! I'm a bit of a nutter and let most spiders chill where they are in my apartment if they are safe lol
