I am a Brown Recluse Spider
Unlike many spiders, I’ve only six eyes.
I don’t build a web to catch other bugs
I wait till prey comes near me and catch it by surprise.
To many humans, my reputation is that of a beast
But I’d like to say that just isn’t so.
I’ll only bite a human if they hurt me first
I prefer to be alone like Garbo.
