I've found several spiders in my Columbia, MD apartment that seem to be brown recluses. I know those are very uncommon in Maryland, and all were behaving strangely for a brown recluse. They were in a commonly used room, generally on a wall in the open and were easy to spot. That said, they seem to have all of the characteristics of a brown recluse that I can find (body roughly 1/4 inch in length, violin marking, uniform abdomen and leg color, 3 pairs of eyes), and none of the "look alkies" that I see mentioned such as wolf spiders look anything like them. The photos of the specimen I've attached were taken on a Google Pixel camera at 5x zoom and a macro setting. The specimen was killed with an ammonia-based cleaner and had been in a pool of the cleaner in a sealed container for roughly a day before I photographed it. I'm a little confused as to why there have been so many and why they've been so out in the open. If there had been one in a storage space, I would assume it was a hitch-hiker from out of state, but there have been enough that that doesn't seem likely.
