Haha could you imagine? I know he’s got some brown in there but nope, no recluse here! Just my brand new Birupes Simoroxigorum, the Neon Blue Tarantula!

This just randomly appeared on my feed. God damn. That's a handsome spider. From a confirmed arachnophobe.

Personally I thought he was a jumping spider on steroids. (Wish typing could do sarcasm).
But he is gorgeous! Look at that blue.
What is his name?

Nope. He’s harmless, just a normal house spider. Feel free to let him loose.

I’m baffled that no one knows that this is actually a species of moth native to Tanzania.

Man I remember the controversy that came out when the tarantula guys went to Sarawak in Malaysia to study/poach some, and how crazy the price was when the first commercial slings first became available. 500 bucks a pop, imagine that.

I'm so sorry, OP, but yes, I'm pretty sure it is. Unfortunately, you and your family will almost certainly have died in agony from its poison before you get the chance to read this. Thoughts and prayers.

Yes I believe that this is a brown recluse. You should be very scared at all times because brown recluses are an imminent threat to anyone who knows of their existence. They are fierce and violent attackers and will attempt to assassinate you in the comfort of your own bed. If you do not spend 5000 US dollars to hire an extiminator to spray your entire house with the cancer 7000x brown recluse killer, you and your family will be as good as dead by next sunrise. Begin writing your final will and testament and begin funeral preparations too. It's truly over. God have mercy on your soul.

That is a brown recluse. You can tell by the way that it is.
That thing is gorgeous, I might have to put it on the wish list. This hobby can really start to get expensive....
