Editing Brown recluse spider (section)

[[File:Loxosceles reclusa adult male 4.jpg|thumb|The brown recluse has three pairs of eyes, unlike most spiders with four pairs of eyes.]]

The violin pattern is not a definitive identifier, as other spiders can have similar markings (e.g. [[Pholcidae|cellar spiders]] and [[pirate spider]]s). Instead, while most spiders have eight eyes, recluse spiders have six eyes arranged in pairs (dyads) with one [[Medial (anatomy)|median]] pair and two [[lateral (anatomy)|lateral]] pairs. Only a few other spiders have three pairs of eyes arranged in this way (e.g., [[Scytodidae|scytodids]]). Recluses have no obvious coloration patterns on the abdomen or legs, and the legs lack spines.<ref name=DermatolOnlineJ1999-Vetter>

The violin marking can vary in intensity depending on the age of the brown recluse spider, with mature spiders typically having dark violin shapes.<ref>
