[edit] black recluse

No evidence to support article's claims; original author unresponsive to queries.

More specifically, a request was placed on the author's (User:Corvun) talk page for documentation of the claims on the page, after several searches of the relevant literature came up with no evidence to support the existence of a "black recluse" spider living in the Pacific Northwest (or anywhere). No response was given; the author later deleted the request (as part of a general "housecleaning" of his talk page).

Further, the page makes claims concerning this creature which are rather specific in nature--which need external documentation; the page also makes the rather specious claim (regarding the "ignorance of local fish and wildlife organizations") that the local authorities on fauna in the region are uninformed.

• Delete There is a Brown Recluse Spider. Maybe the names got confused, as one article on the internet acknowledges. Groeck 22:04, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I lived in the area for a decade, and I never heard of it. --Carnildo 00:00, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
