  • Profile picture of Nancy Landrum who took this action.

    Nancy Landrum commented on an older version of "Geographic Range":

    I have heard of the brown recluse territory not extending above I-70 in Illinois which is not too far south from Moline, Illinois, where I live. I read in one of local papers that doctors have reported that they get a few brown recluse bite victims every year, but even the paper doubted to story, because the bite in not treat and release. I fear these guys like some revenge from the gods. We have these spiders that get medium sized and although most are black, I met a brown one once and they have brilliant lavender stripes down their backs, and they do have the aspect of a hunting spider, and before I saw a real picture of a brown recluse, the markings bear no resemblance to one another. One ran over my bed once and I left the house and called an exterminator, and he never was a brown recluse, I mean the spider, not the exterminator.
