Found this laying next to the wall in the bathroom. It was dead. I am nervous it is a brown recluse. I live in the Knoxville, Tennessee area.

I hate to say it, but yes, it does appear to be a Brown Recluse from what I can see from the pic.

It is not possible to identify this spider from the image. The resemblance to a brown recluse seems superficial; note that its front pair of legs are much longer than its other legs, which is not typical of recluse spiders - http://www.inriodulce.com/images/br9-mid.jpg

I stand corrected. you are right, the legs are much longer on this one.
