I found this spider yesterday in the stables, I think it killed one of my horses. Not sure what it is but it looks similar to a brown recluse spider. I know the pics are bad but I'm too afraid to get it out of the box.
Brown recluse spider???? or something else
Killed a horse! Shudder, You have many poisonous spiders there, but I cannot verify brown recluse, tho I should.
It's just one spider, the other bugs are beetles I caught in order to satiate its bloodthirst. The spider is brown with a black abdomen and it has spotted legs.
Not only is this spider not a recluse spider, it does not look like any of other spiders native to Argentina that are considered dangerously venomous - see http://www.taringa.net/posts/ciencia-educacion/15305807/Las-aranas-venenosas-de-Argentina.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_wandering_spider
