Several Desert Recluses (species identity based on range) were seen under rocks in the Panoche Valley over an hour of searching. This one appears to be a pregnant female.

I am fairly certain this is Loxosceles. Not too many 6-eyed spiders with eyes arranged like this, I think, plus the silk looks cribellate (though apparently it only looks that way). Loxosceles deserta seems like a possibility based on location. Can anyone confirm that? Found under a fallen yucca along the trail to Lost Palms Oasis.

Found under a wooden board. Likely L. deserta, pending further analysis of specimen. Linked here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/1197800

Yet another Mojave-ish species you can find in Panoche.
