How common is the Brown Recluse Spider in So Md?

They say there are no Water Moccasins or Rattlers down here too.

Their field guide must be from 1900.

I've seen a Moccasin in both St. Marys and PG counties. And know one person that found a timber rattler on his property in Charles County in the 80s.

Actually, a lot of creatures that aren't supposed to be native are showing up around the area. Coyotes, Bobcats, even Bears.

A Black Bear was struck by a car in Mechanicsville just a couple years ago.
