Answer 2

No recluses do not carry their young on their back, wolf spiders do that.

Wolf spiders have the eye pattern seen in my avatar, and here is some info and pictures on wolf spiders;

If your not in the shaded area, you don't have to worry about recluses.  Even if you are, they are not called recluse spiders for nothing.  They are very shy and prefer to not be seen or disturbed.  "Big brown spiders" you more commonly see running through homes are wolf spiders and grass spiders, and none of them are dangerous.  Also, brown recluses are not "big", their body doesn't reach half an inch in length.
