Daddy Long Legs
Pholcids are fragile spiders, the body being 2–10 mm in length with legs which may be up to 30 mm long. Pholcus and Smeringopus have cylindrical abdomens and the eyes are arranged in two lateral groups of three and two smaller median contiguous eyes. Spermaphora has a small globose abdomen and its eyes are arranged in two groups of three and no median eyes. Pholcids are gray to brown with banding or chevron markings. The shape of the Pholcus and Smeringopus’s body reflects that of a peanut shell.
Wolf Spiders
Wolf spiders range from about 1/2 inch to 2 inches in length, hairy, and are typically brown to gray in color with various markings or lines. Wolf spider mothers carry their large egg sacs around with them. When the young spiderlings hatch they climb onto their mother’s back and ride around until partially grown. Wolf spiders are not poisonous, though as with all spiders, bites may cause reactions in certain individuals.
Brown Recluse
Brown recluse is about 1/4 to 3/4 inch (6.4-19.1mm) in size. Golden brown. Brown recluse spiders belong to a group of spiders commonly known as violin spiders or fiddlebacks.

This spider is not hairy and the fiddle pattern is often shiny. They are about 1/4 to 3/4 inch long.
