Loxosceles devia
Texas Recluse
Loxosceles devia, commonly known as the Texas recluse, is a species of recluse spider in the family Sicariidae. It is native to the southern United States and Mexico. Like other members of the genus Loxosceles, it possesses venom that can cause necrotic skin lesions in humans, though bites are rare and typically occur only when the spider is trapped against skin. The species is closely related to other recluse spiders and shares their characteristic shy, reclusive behavior.
