Loxosceles reclusa
7-8 millimeters in *body* length, colored as shown.
Found after taking a blanket out of storage in a room inside a home.
This is a potentially dangerous spider, its venomous bite known to create necrotic wounds on occasion. Still, bites are rare, and may result in no symptoms at all, or only mild injury.
