I ticked the "Help Me ID" box.

I've moved this to arthropods for you. As others have suggested this is not a brown recluse which looks like this http://bugguide.net/node/view/187017

If you add him to spiders of the world mission, I'm sure someone will be able to pin his exact identity down for you.

Quite a handsome one at that. You may wish to reclassify him as an arthropod (bug listing with the dragonfly image).

Hi there. This is most certainly not a brown recluse spider. It's a wolf spider in the family Lycosidae. Hopefully someone will be able to classify it better than that.
