The brown recluse can actually be identified by a "violin" shape on their body! I'm a bit of a nutter and let most spiders chill where they are in my apartment if they are safe lol
It's chilling inside. It ain't bothering me, I actually like the company lol. I might move it outside later but It's kind of cold out and it seems happy.
I have some house rules for spiders: no bed, no hanging above bed, no sudden movements, avoid open spaces, no counters, get away from my feet. They are welcome to any dark corner of my home.
Pretty much as long as they aren't in or above my bed and so long as they aren't touching me as you said they are okay with me.
No way I'm getting close enough to make out the violin shape. I'll just continue assuming they're all brown recluses, tyvm.
