It’s a joke that every spider, no matter what it looks like, will eventually be called a brown recluse (usually by someone who doesn’t know how to recognize a brown recluse)
Travis has an excellent video about the brown recluse. It goes into rather excruciating detail! He even covers the story about all the false attributions, including a map which shows how it comports with the spider’s range. Interestingly enough, people who live inside its range are much better at correctly recognizing the spider!
This looks more like a jumping spider, than a brown recluse.

The trick is, if you see it, it isn’t a recluse.

Yeah Jumping spiders are cute and harmless. Brown recluses are like somebody tried to optimize a scorpion and abandon the stinger concept.
well, it is brown and it is alone…
