what spider is this?

[hard_jokur]

Some of the guys in a different forum thinks this is a brown recluse... I dont think it looks like one but there are a bunch who swear it is. It was found in N. Ohio.

It's not the greatest pic, but here goes.

I'm pretty sure thats not L. reclusa. As to what it is, I don't know.

It looks like a Steatoda species, but it is DEFINATELY not a Brown Recluse. Shouldn't this be under "True Spiders and Other Arachnids", in any case? It's not a tarantula, that's for certain!

What you've found is obviously not a brown recluse.

Looks like Steatoda triangulosa to me.
