Southern House Spider or Brown Recluse? - Metaltella simoni

Southern House Spider or Brown Recluse? - Metaltella simoni
Milton, Santa Rosa County, Florida, USA
June 20, 2018
This guy came down from somewhere above me in the house, ceiling or top of chair. He bounced all over me before I realized it was a spider. I gently scooped the blanket up and tossed him out the door but would like an id in case he nibbled without me realizing it. This was at 9:50pm.
