Well man, dont give your hopes up, I live here in southern colorado and I see these spiders very often. I used to think they were brown recluses but further study denied my theory. But I'd say in the past year from summer 2005 to today (2006) I've spotted at least 10 of them, but then again I am very interrested in this particular spider and I do go out and acually make an effort to look for them. Look under logs, tarps that have been left on the ground for a long while, bricks (or stones) carpet that's been left outside for a long while etc. Anywhere that may look like it could be cool in temperature under the object may hold a Louse Spider (Dysdera Crocata).
