That's right, it's the brown recluse spider! This little arachnid is about the size of a quarter, including its legs, and its color can vary from sandy beige to dark brown. The marking on its back, which kind of looks like a violin, is one of the things that sets the brown recluse apart from other spiders. Another unique feature is that it has only six eyes instead of the usual eight that most spiders have!  \nIf you're wondering where this six-eyed creature calls home, you'll find them mostly in the central and southern parts of the United States. They prefer to live in dark,  \nsecluded places, like under rocks or in woodpiles, and they even sometimes sneak into people's houses! These spiders are not social, so they like to be alone most of the time. And when it comes to dinner time, they like to feast on little insects like cockroaches and crickets.  \nNow let's talk about the life cycle of our violin-backed friend. The female brown recluse lays eggs in a sticky, off-white silken sac, and after about a month, tiny spiderlings emerge. These little ones grow up to become adults in about a year, and can live for two to four years, which is quite long for a spider. Did you know that these spiders play an important role in the ecosystem by controlling the population of the insects they eat?  \nNow, you might be wondering, do these spiders get along with humans? Well, brown recluse spiders are actually quite shy and prefer to keep to themselves rather than interact with humans or other animals. They only bite when they feel threatened, and their venom can be harmful to humans, so it's best to leave them alone if you see one. And that's our little six-eyed, violin-backed friend, the brown recluse spider, a unique creature that prefers a quiet life, munching on insects and playing its part in the balance of nature.  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) What color can the brown recluse spider be?  \nA.
