"Where do brown recluse spiders live? Spider experts across the state agree that the true brown recluse spider does NOT live in California, but is native to Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi. There are some related species found in California. The Loxosceles laeta, imported from South America, has been found in eastern Los Angeles County. The Loxosceles deserta is found in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts, the foothills of the Central Valley up to Merced and Fresno counties, but not in Northern California.
In any case, the brown recluse is called a "recluse" because it hides and is not commonly found out in the open. The brown recluse will hide in dark, quiet, out-of-the-way areas where it will not easily be disturbed."
