Perhaps mods can delete this thread, no longer necessary
Been tentatively ID'd as Loxosceles reclusa, and it's going to close by college to confirm.

Was captured 48 hours ago without the aid of larval forceps which resulted in its demise.
Was found in an garden shed, lurking on lawn mower.
Latency photographing resulting in discoloration of abdomen

Entire spider, rule on right scaled in mm
