I disturbed this while gardening

I was prepping the ground for planting, and this came sprinting out from under ground. Are there eggs in that white sack?

 

[Rich Z]

Yep. Looks like a mom protecting her eggs.

What kind of "Mom" would that be?
I'm a "zero" at spider identification.

Beats me. I'm not a spider guy.

Just a guess here guys the name that pops up is "Recluse" give her all the dad gum space she wants.

I don't think it's a brown recluse. One key identifying feature of the brown recluse is a fiddle shaped marking on top of it's head.

You're probably correct but these critters are not on my favored list either.

Yeah, they are not something you want to have snuggle up in your clothes.....

USE LOTS OF CARB CLEANER OR BUG SPRAY!
THERES FAR TOO MANY SPIDERS IN FLORIDA FOR ANYONE TO MISS A FEW MILLION!

Mostly harmless, unless your a bug but they do bite.
