yep thats not a recluse........my family lives in missouri where brown recluse infestations are common.......I have either killed or caught in glue traps about a 120 so far this summer....last summer was even worse....What really sucks is that they are almost impossable to get rid of.......as far as size.I catch ones at least as big as this spider all the time
this is the spider i just seen in my bath room D: i ran out scream and my step-dad came out saying ' what the hell is going on?" i said breathless "spi....der" and hes like " God damn Chelsey Nicole." xD
Two large pedipalps, and eyes on a bump on the top of the head, a mark that somewhat resembles a fiddle, and the size of the spider itself = not a Brown Recluse, but a mostly harmless Male Crevice Spider
Same color as spider above, a more defined fiddle mark,Six eyes in three pairs( two up front,and a pair on each side), and smaller than the spider above= A Brown Recluse.
If you think that spider is scary looking, you should see the female crevice spider.
-_- I woke up in the middle of the night and the first thought was that huge dam recluse. i turned on every light on in the house. and after 4 minutes of searching for a recluse i went back to bed.
my dad burned a bronw recluse with wd-40 and a lighters my mom pulled up when ever the huge fireball came XD btw its legs poped off and flew everywear on the porch and it was about the size of my hand and angry cus my dad destroyed its wep that was as big as the porch
I also have found brown recluse spiders in the sink, and the bathtub. They get in the drain pipe somehow, and find their way up, until I flush them back down. I hate brown recluse spiders, and they can get bigger than a quarter, but a quarter is usually their full size.
yea that is a brown recluse, i know cause i was bit by one when i was 11, so i started studying up on them,i know all about them, i just had my lady kill one for me cause im scared of them lol. now i wont sleep tonight.
Be careful this type of spider bites you in your sleep, they like to get in your ears and enter your brain - so I reckon you should kill the bloody beast before it eats you alive! :D :D :D
This IS a recluse spider. One can be identified by the violin shape on the cepholathorax (the "head" of the spider). And those who have said "they're reclusive, so therefore it can't be a recluse" are ignorant to spider behavior. Huntsman spiders such as the Recluse, while taking a preference to avoiding humans and other animals, do roam freely to find food.
Yes it is! The belly of the violin is toward the front of the spider's cephalothorax and the neck of the violin runs down the end of the spider's cephalothorax. The cephalothorax is the combined head/thorax section of the spider's body. The last section of the spider is the abdomen.
A lot of spiders have similar markings. This video, in all its blurriness, doesn't prove it to me. Secondly, brown recluses walk more on the tips of their legs. And I can't say I've ever seen a brown recluse with palps like that.
It can be a cellar spider maybe, I don't think a recluse can get that big, and cursedlemon, I know what you mean about the palps. But hey, it could be one.
i got attacted by this type of spider when i was about 10yr old. the spider hit me,then i woke up and knocked it away, then it came back and hit me two other times that night. it hits hard.
u might be thinking of another kind of spider, brown recluse spiders are um...reclusive.
if it did manage to bite you once, it would run the hell away, not come back two more times!
you were probably attacked by some more common house spider that looks just like a recluse, there are a few. At 10yrs i'm sure it would be easy to get confused.
...As I said , WHEN UNTREATED , they CAN kill you , from infection...The elongated palps prove it to be a HOBO SPIDER , a male that is ready to mate , which makes them very aggressive - they'll pounce on humans and large animals like they are no threat...The bony , knotted knuckles on its hairless legs , the elongated and enlarged palps , configuration of its eyes and telltale chevron on its back prove this to be a hobo spider...
...I believe what you have there is known as a Hobo spider , commonly confused with the recluse...They are usually a good deal larger than a recluse , but they have a similar corrosive bite , which , when untreated , CAN kill you...More people are bit by hobos and mistake them as recluses - the way to tell the diff is a recluse has a violin shape on its back (hence their other name : the fiddleback) , and a Hobo has chevron-style stripes (like a military patch)...
recluses kill lots of people..the smart ones go into the hospital the 1st day it happens. of you dont, you cn lose a limb or die. many cases of untreated recluse bites end in death.
Tofubeak is correct. This is not a brown recluse. It does look very similar to one but not the real thing. It is indeed a Southern House Spider. Completely harmless to humans.
It's a brown recluse look-alike, called the southern house spider (Kukulcania hibernalis). The appearance is similar, but the palps are far too elongated, the violinish marking does not extend from the front to the rear of the cephalothorax, and the spider is too large.
((Somebody smart has prolly already beat me to this, but I dont have time to look at all 55 comments ^^))
It's too big to be a brown recluse, which is the one you have to worry about. Even if it was a brown recluse, they're not deadly, but the infected bites can be very painful.....and often problematic. We're at the very top of their range here in southern Ohio, I had a cluster in my basement, but the glue traps got them quick enough. ^^
the people who have gotten bitten havelost hella flesh to the bone, and some have had to have amputations. The smallest type of injury you can get is a pure black maark whereever you got bitten
dude brown recluse bites are very dangerous this guy lost skin on his thumb all the way to his bone so they are dangerous i never ever want to see one again nor the black widow
It's a brown recluse the brown recluses aren't that small. Trust me I know alot about animals we breed wildcats. Oh and if ya wanna sqiush~IT DO IT FAST!
Judging from the length of those pedipalps and the tiny narrow abdomen I'd guess it's some sort of huge webless wolf-spider. A hungry one. Probably just looking for a bug to eat. That spider looks like it's built for speed. I lived in a townhouse a while ago and used to have wolfies zipping all over the place.
That is INDEED a recluse. It's a male Mediterranean Recluse. (very close cousin to the indigenous Brown Recluse). The are very similar and they are related. The Mediterranean Recluse was introduced into the US some years ago. The skinny abdomen and long Palps indicate that it is a male. You can clearly see the "fiddle" as well. The fiddle is NOT white as someone said. It's usually dark brown.
No, it's not. Genus Loxosceles does not have these hugely elongated palps. If anyone cares to look, years ago I put up a web based spider identification chart for the brown recluse spider and black widow from specimens that I had collected from homes. The pictures show all of the key identifying characteristics of both spiders in crystal clear detail, and using this key, you will never misidentify a recluse spider again.
Here's my advice: Keeping it cool inside. Open the closets to light. Clean. Bag clothes. Surround your bed with packaging tape. Set traps. They live in basements and under wood shingles.
Everyone in Kansas City has BRs this summer cause the winters aren't cold anymore. There isn't much of a concensus about how to erridate a home of these spiders or how to treat a bite. I was told this morning by someone that I should stop using baited traps cause that'll lure them in from long distances.
The book "Bitten: True Medical Stories of Bites and Stings" says that BR bites have caused death in only a handful of instances. However, Pubmed says that they're relatively harmless and result in necrotic wounds less than 50% of the time. But who knows what all things cause necrosis? Or even what all spiders, for that matter? They didn't even know the Hobo was poisonous before the 1980s.
Brown Recluse spiders have a white 'fiddle' shaped marking on it's back and they don't get very big in size, but their bite is wicked! A framer I know got bit on his calf buy one hiding in a package of shingles. The framer didn't get it looked at for 2 days until the bit area swelled up huge. The doctor sent him to surgery asap where the surgon had to cut out all of the 'dead' meat from his leg. About the size of his fist. It left a nasty scar as you can imagin.
Recluse bites are sometimes fatal. The worst part is, it's often a life long complication, a completely healed bite can re-open 10 or even 40 years later and cause the same problems as it did when it was first recieved. This is not a spider you want to mess with.
to answer cursedlemon just go on google and type in brown recluse on the pictures. then go to the one of the close up, and read. it says this:
The venom of the brown recluse destroys the walls of the blood vessels near the site of the bite, sometimes causing a skin ulcer several inches in diameter. The wound, which may take several months to heal, is occasionally fatal.
it is occasionally fatal, meaning someone has died from a bite. these things are fucking scarey.
The way you have to look at it is, if u ever se a spider that looks strange and youve never seen before. You should just asume its poisonus. You should seek medical attention after any spider bite that is painful or causes nausia, headake, all sorts of those thins.... sry I cant spell for shit.
Wow, I was told they don't exist in Cali. Well, I hope they don't exist in the desert where it's always 115 degrees. The times I've lived here, I've never seen one before.
It's a brown recluse. It's also known as a violin spider because they have a shape of a violin on their bodies. Look at the thing closely and then you'll see it.
Yes, it is known as a violin spider. Do me a favor, go to google and do an image search for brown recluse. Notice the difference in physiology. These spiders are brown spiders - the same ones used in the movie Arachnophobia. They have a longer abdomen and longer legs in proportion to the body. These spiders aren't very venemous, but they do look intimidating.
Just last year in my biology class, this spider guy brung in a lot of spider for us to look at. The brown recluse spider he brought looks exactly like that one in this video. Luckily they don't exist in California, but I know exactly what a brown recluse looks like. Yes, you are correct, this isn't a brown recluse spider. I never noticed the longer front legs. All spiders are the same to me. They're ugly, intimidating, and ugly if I haven't said that yet lol.
http://www.highway60.com/mark/brs/default.asp?Picture=Yes - a record of recorded brown recluse bites. They do exist in California. Though not as common as the midwest and east coast. Northern California is where they're most commonly found in that state.
he's right this isn't a brown recluse. but it looks similar to one. STAY AWAY FROM THESE SPIDERS! Kill them so that you dont have 100 of them crawling throughout your house. If you are bitten there is a 90% chance of suffering from necrosis which is pretty much when your flesh decays from the spider bite.http://thefuntimesguide.com/images/blogs/brown_recluse_spider_bite_Day10.jpg
Recluses aren't deadly, I don't think there's any record of anyone dying from a recluse bite. Their bites are localized, and the only possible life-threatening danger is organ failure if the bite is on the stomach or torso somewhere, and that's if you don't bother to notice the gaping ulcer in your skin beforehand. Anyway, I don't think that's a brown recluse.
actually, they are deadly. my best friend's father almost died from a recluse bite on his leg. his tissue was already beginning to deteriorate and he had a white line going up his thigh. When he finally went to the hospital, the doctor informed him that the white line was the venom going up through his blood stream toward his heart, and if he hadn't come in, he would have had about 72 hours left to live. they are deadly.
Well almost anything can kill you if you sit there and take it like a bitch. I'm saying that, by the time you realize you've been bitten and go get treatment, it's practically impossible to die by a recluse.
OMG!! dont recluse spiders bite you, then your insidess rot and it hurts like a beyatch!? and no one knows what's happening to you...cos the only symptoms are bruises and there's no anti venom...HOLD ME I AM SCARED! :'(
Don't Get Bitten, You'll Have A Lesion The Size Of A Golf Ball That Will Go Through Massive Tissue Damage And Necrosis...It Leaves A Huge Ulcer (Very Painful)

http://www.highway60.com/mark/brs/default.asp?Picture=Yes - a record of recorded brown recluse bites. They do exist in California. Though not as common as the midwest and east coast. Northern California is where they're most commonly found in that state.

he's right this isn't a brown recluse. but it looks similar to one. STAY AWAY FROM THESE SPIDERS! Kill them so that you dont have 100 of them crawling throughout your house. If you are bitten there is a 90% chance of suffering from necrosis which is pretty much when your flesh decays from the spider bite.http://thefuntimesguide.com/images/blogs/brown_recluse_spider_bite_Day10.jpg

Recluses aren't deadly, I don't think there's any record of anyone dying from a recluse bite. Their bites are localized, and the only possible life-threatening danger is organ failure if the bite is on the stomach or torso somewhere, and that's if you don't bother to notice the gaping ulcer in your skin beforehand. Anyway, I don't think that's a brown recluse.

actually, they are deadly. my best friend's father almost died from a recluse bite on his leg. his tissue was already beginning to deteriorate and he had a white line going up his thigh. When he finally went to the hospital, the doctor informed him that the white line was the venom going up through his blood stream toward his heart, and if he hadn't come in, he would have had about 72 hours left to live. they are deadly.

Well almost anything can kill you if you sit there and take it like a bitch. I'm saying that, by the time you realize you've been bitten and go get treatment, it's practically impossible to die by a recluse.

o ya, if you get treatment you're fine, but if youre a dumbass who is like "ehh, i'll just rub a little neosporn on it" then you're screwed!!
