After clearing out the garage, this ended up crawling out of one of the trash bags.... the pattern on the back threw me - think it looks like a brown recluse, but I have no idea....

Thoughts?

Oh - and it didn't look like a wolf spider - not really any hair on it. And the pattern is very unique. This is in the mountains in Western North Carolina.

How about one of the Nursery Web spiders? Pisaurina mira looks similar.

I think you're safe, it does not look too similar to the brown recluse; I think there is a picture in the Sticky thread on this forum.
