I live in Corpus Christi Texas. I found this little guy (size of pinky nail) already dead in my bedroom. I know the picture is poor quality but it had a segmented front and back abdomen. Back "butt" part was the dark brown color typical of brown recluse spiders. The front was a light brown/tan and the same color as the legs. No noticable "violin" shaped markings.The odd thing was the dark brown "knees" (these you can see in the photo). I was unable to get close enough to see the triad eye pattern but there wasnt anything that stood out as NOT being a triad eye patter (e.g. row of eyes, big googly eyes, etc).

I'm pretty good at identifying BRs after previously living in a house INFESTED with them and took great care not to bring them with me to my new place. I'm so scared that after almost a year of being BR free...They're back! Please tell me what this is so I can appropriately 1) breathe sigh of relief or 2) freak the f*** out my nightmare is starting all over again.
