From the University of Wisconsin medical website, a male recluse on a quarter:
And from my alma mater, the University of Nebraska, a female on a quarter:
And a map of the renge of Loxoceles species, the red zone being where the Brown Recluse is found:

There is a very good thread in here about MRSA. I mention this because often pts will attribute initial MRSA lesions to "brown recluses" or other spiders. In fact, one website I looked at for this showed an obvious staph lesion and described it as a reclusa bite. LA Cuonty Jail had a huge problem with inmate either believing or stating they beleived that they were experincing spider bites, when they were actually Staph aureus, and DNA proved they were from the community.
So, tell me, how do you differentiate and how does it affect your emergent treatment and personal protection?
(PS: siedbar: why can't a spiderbite become MRSA infected?).
