I was bitten by one of these a few years ago. I was doing work in my basement, and I counted nine of these. The bite is so painless that i had no idea i was bitten until my foot had a crater in it 2cm wide the following morning. Don't take these lightly. They are more poisonous than a black widow, just not as aggressive.
Normally I don't kill any living creature, not even flies or cockroaches, despite how icky I feel they are. But if there's a potentially harmful spider in the house, I will kill it. Not because they're 'more creepy' than the other bugs, but because they're more dangerous. Never take a venomous animal lightly, no matter how 'rare' it is to be bitten; you're only 50% likely to actually be injected by venom from a rattlesnake bite too, but that doesn't mean you mess around with one.
I think that brown recluse comparison to a quarter is supposed to usually include most of its leg length as well, while the (adult) southern house spider's body alone is nearly the diameter of a quarter, and with legs is much closer to a silver dollar.
1. It's not the bite of the brown recluse that's potentially deadly, it's the wound that could turn into a major medical problem if it necroses and/or becomes septic. Contrast with the bite of a brown- or black widow spider, where it's the actual venom at the time of the bite that can have the worst effects.
2. Brown recluse are not the only spider whose bite can cause necrosis wounds ... see also hobo spiders, etc.
Wish you'd counted and taken note of his eyes and how they were placed. That's one of the leading indicators hospitals use as to whether or not a spider brought in with a bite victim is a recluse. Most arachnids have eight eyes, brown recluse has six, in a very specific pattern. Having said that, we live right in the middle of brown recluse territory here in the US, and really had to battle them last year. One of their favorite spots was, indeed, our bathtub.
The bite of the recluse can be a bad wound, but most go without incident and are rarely fatal. They bite when disturned or pressed on or against something. The best defense for these things are glue boards, period. I live in the south and although they are not in my house, I have seen them in others houses when people move, etc and their hiding places are disturbed. They are usually larger than you would think but very fast moving.
Your comment is dangerously misleading. Although brown recluse spider bites are rare, they are not to be taken lightly. These spiders will bite if enough pressure is applied, so as shy as they are, you better hope you don't roll over one in your sleep. And if there's really 'a lot in your house', I'd worry alright.
Also, comparing killing a brown recluse to killing your neighbors is just bizarre. You didn't seem concerned about killing the cricket, so what are you talking about?
@chiandroses you're a dick man the only reason their bites get lethal is because people dont know how to wash right and it gets infected leading to complications. also some people are allergenic and like anything some one is allergic to can die from it.... stupid ass. though i do have to agree him comparing the life of a spider to a human is just sick.
@PremiumWater , I think your comment is very, very misleading. The truth is that some recluse bites are EXTREMELY destructive and it's not due to an allergy but the toxicity of the venom and the amount of venom. We know little as to why some bites are mild and others are lethal, but speaking of them as though their bite is just no big deal seems reckless. One bite CAN kill you. Just ask the family of Kaylee Davis from TN.
i was told that recluses have two different bites...one where it is just that, a bite, and the other bite is where they release venom. and ive heard its the black widow that is only deadly if one is allergic to them. From what i have read from books is that they are the most deadliest spiders in america. I dont know what is true, but either way i dont want to find out the hard way lol
I just read on the brown recluse that it doesnt bite unless scared or in harm. sooooo still they shouldnt be messed with cuz there pretty venomous. but its rare that u die. i read that the bite blisters and its only in very rare cases that u die from it. u probly have more of a chance that the blister gets infected rather than the actual bite killing u. still these spiders are crazy
all u idiots commenting that premium water is wrong do some research i am takinga basic survive class and we did a day on spiders. a recluse bite is ONLY DEADLY IF U ARE ALLERGIC TO THEM. if u are allergic and bitten then it kills all your tissue and keeps on going and is easily treated depending on where u got bite. it is a dangerous spider but it is only deadly if u are allergic still tho i wouldnt wanna get bitten to find out
Yeah it's because they are so common, however they say they aren't aggressive, i strongly disagree. In my area at least, or the ones in my house are very aggressive and abundant. I've been bitten twice in the past that i know about for sure because i look down and see them bitting. Both times i DID NOT prevoke them in any way, but they still came up and bit me. I wake up in mourning with rashes from apparent bits, because they only cause rash on me. No wonder i have sleeping problems though ; /
Frankly, I'm appalled at the way you treat animals. everyone knows that these spiders are a the horrible evil spawn of satan, and yet, you feed it? THIS calls for a blowtorch, not a cricket. NEVER feed one of God's creations to one satan's minions. FOR SHAME!!
Looks like one to me. In the early 90s I lived in a rental house in Cottontown Tenn that was INFESTED, I DO MEAN INFESTED with nasty things. Watch they way it walks, it moves its front legs differently than other small brown spiders. We fought them for 9 months, spraying every month and shaking every piece of clothing. We never got bit, but two of our neighbors did in their house next door (no long term damage).
I just found a spider that looks EXACTLY like this about 2 hours ago. I am still totally freaked out by it. My father-in-law was bitten 4 years ago on the elbow. They had to remove a huge chunk of his upper and forearm muscles. He narrowly avoided losing his entire forearm and hand. There was an O.R. booked and an amputation was scheduled when in the last few hours things started to improve. He was just hours away from a mechanical arm shopping spree. Maybe not deadly.....but, very, very close.
Brown Recluse spiders get their name, because they are nocturnal, and you rarely see them in the day. Recluse means loner, or someone, or something that keeps away from people. They like to hide in sheds, in old clothing, or in pipes.
can somebody please tell me what a baby brown recluse looks like? Because I've got three nickel sized spiders that i caught in my kitchen within 5 minutes and I have a feeling there's more.
The North American black widow,with a shiny black body and a red hourglass or stripe on the underneath of it's abdomen, that is the only spider in NA to worry about. Seek immediate medical(emergency) treatment. The venom in a black widow bite usually will cause major disruptions of the central nervous system of most humans, I'm no md. but that can't be good.
@ericr530 wrong u need to seek attention if ur bitten by this one too depending where u are bit. in the thigh or in any fatty area can be extremely dangerous.
@axelfbomber Right and wrong, If you're bitten yes it makes sensen to seek medical attention because of the tissue damage that can be left untreated. If you're not a child under three or a very elderly person or a person with a compromised immune system or naturally allergic, then even if you don't get treatment your chances of survival without complications are usually 90% or more.
@axelfbomber The thigh is about the least troublesome susceptible area, where do you get your information from???? A friend of mine got bitten in the face by one while he was sleeping. An anti venom, anti inflamation topical IV and he was fine.
@ericr530 got no clue what he's talking about because the venom would deteriorate the skin around the bite area not create some bruising. also Even in perfectly healthy adults being bitten in an area of fatty tissue or an area where there are vital organs is dangerous and can be fatal if not treated. Most of the time the skin must be removed due to infection because most people leave it untreated which is why amputations occur most of the time.
@axelfbomber Vital organs are deep in the body under layers of muscle followed by fat tissue. It is extremely unlikely that the effects of the venom would penetrate deeply enough to reach the organs of adult humans which lie 4-6" inside the body on average. Complications from the bite can be lethal,very rarely but the bite itself IS NOT lethal.
@axelfbomber Usually only about 1 in 100,000 at the most of these bites are fatal in a healthy adult even if untreated and usually the fatal ones are due to the pre-existing conditions said before.
@axelfbomber Like as said as before, the Black Widow, or any variate with a shiny black body with red under markings is the only very serious bite and usally a victim will feel these bites and if not the pain will be unmistakeable. This is a far, far,far more serious bite,being a neurotoxin, than the Brown Recluse which stands a lottery chance of being fatal in most humans.
@ericr530 ah but what ur talking about is someone being bitten on the hand or arm. The brown recluse (not saying it's more dangerous than black widow) bite when bitten in the thigh or stomach can kill if not treated. the Fat tissue spreads the venom quickly through the blood stream and actually thousands of people have limbs amputated because of it. now the entomoligist up there is retarded because he said his professor was perfectly alright after the bite which proves he has no clue what he's
@axelfbomber Wrong, wrong,wrong, thousands of people do not lose limbs to the bite yearly, stop pulling ridiculous numbers out of your ass. The venom causes tissue damage around the area of the bite, not the whole body. It does make sense and someone should seek treatment if bitten. I was bitten on the top of my right hand and a blister about the size of a half golfball formed. the doctor lanced(cut) it open and drained it, the skin healed several months later.
@ericr530 i didn't say yearly i just said thousands also i did not say the bit was lethal untreated it can be lethal those are the only corrections i wanted to say :D
@axelfbomber Thousands of people have not lost limbs to the Recluse bite period. Maybe a couple of hundred at the most. Untreated the complications from the bite, i.e. secondary infection can be lethal, but still this is very,very rare.
I couldn't really see the violin pattern on it's back. It does look like one besides that. I've heard their venom is only severely damaging to the elderly and children,but you know how those things go.
Jesus! 3 recluses in your bathtub? Fucking MOVE!!!! I couldn't live in that kind of area, spiders already scare the piss out of me... a spider in my range of reaction is a dead spider.
Hmmm... I dunno. They both creep the piss out of me, but I've heard that Funnel Webs are pretty deadly... plus they have these huge fucking fangs. Another reason I'm glad I don't live in Australia, ha ha.
We have Recluses here though. I haven't seen one, but I haven't exactly looked for them either. Whenever I put on a shirt I make damn well sure to shake to shit out of it before putting it on!
I caught a brown recluse too. I had him for about a week before I put some sugar ants in his enclosure. He went after them so I put in a cricket as well. He ate the cricket and got a fat really abdomen. The one you got has a swollen abdomen, so maybe he is already sufficiently stuffed with food.
Your the idiot shiteater, look closely on it's back see the violin marking on it. THIS IS A BROWN RECLUSE. They can get the diameter of a quarter which this one is about. Do a little more observation and research,before you open your ignorant pie hole.
eric, and mramerican, both are retarded, brown recluse are tiny you dumb fucks, and as you can tell there is not violin on its but...fucking idiots who think they know shit
Wrong. That is a brown recluse, I should know I got bitten on the hand by one when I was sleeping. Left a blister the size of a half a golfball. Went to a doctor who cut it open to drain the puss. Painful and disgusting, took a few months to heal. Not dangerous like the black widow though which will require a trip to the emergency room.
Summer time in hot weather i wake up and there is always a spider in teh bathtub. It does not look like this. it has shorter legs, black, guess its a recluse spider, extremely fast, but it cant crawl back out of the tub when it tries to. i usually put on my swat gear and capture it in a plastic seethrough bowl and set it free outside. how the hell do they get in there and its not the drainage holes in tub, and my windows are closed. i sit at desk in room and another one crawls by. lol
@phebokitty "thats not a recluse dude. its a wolf spider....especially if u found it in the tub. recluse spiders stay in dark corners and crevices"
Where do you think they go at night when the lights are out? We find recluse spiders in our tub all the time. They fall into there during the night when the lights are out and then cant get back out.
u ever see the aftermath of a bite? i saw 1 vid on here where the guy had a bite on his leg, and they were stuffing gauze in the hole it made... alot of gauze fit in too
It appeared that the spider wasn't interested in that cricket even though it had crossed paths with it several times, it probably just wanted to get out of that container.
I was an entomology minor in college and I did take a class on arachnids. We spent a day on the recluse and their bite is not lethal. Many people are bitten by recluses and don't know it. My professor actually forced one to bite him and all he had was a slow healing bruise that took about a month to heal. They are also a common house spider in indigenous areas. In one house where one was found they put glue pads under a bed and caught 11 recluses.
That's really interesting. I am headed back to Hawaii (to live) and need to not freak out every time I see a cane spider. I know, I know, they aren't venonmous, but something hairy with 4 inch legs sends me into hyperventilating spazz mode!! Any advice?
Holy shit, yea buy a 12 gauge and some birdshot. That will take care of them! Im not a fan of spiders myself. Thats about what I would be doing if I was you. Then just tell the cops, "You should have seen the fucker!"
There is a video on YT of this guy who is doing just that! (Really). Unfortunately I go into cardiac arrest the second I see one and can no longer function to even throw a rock at it, which I wouldn't, because it would come leaping back at me with attitude and I would pass out and die on the spot.
@TheFightformylife In maybe 2-3 out of 10K or more victims, which all 3 of those are young children, very elderly 75+ or younger adults with a serious pre-existing condition, OTHERWISE A FATAL BITE FROM THE BROWN RECLUSE IS A LOTTERY CHANCE AMOUNG HEALTHY ADULTS. Whew! Glad that is settled.
@PremiumWater yeah but what if one of them bit your dick? The night before last i captured 17 of them, all adults, and all of them up stairs in my house! I'm not to afraid of them but i had trouble getting to sleep the other night after i got up to take a piss, came back and one was on my bed right where i was laying. I've been bit twice by them before, both times while i was on acid, i also have a theory that they are attracted to our energy fields within, especially while you are tripping
@broadcastmyass4u Both of you need to get your house exterminated. Myself and a friend of mine have been bitten once in the past 25 years we have known each other. Oh really! If you found 17 adult brown recluse spiders in your house then you have a serious infestation, and have the stealth skills of a native American and you beat lottery odds, and also found a golden needle in a haystack. Take heed of the previous instruction.
@ericr530 Well it's not like i just made that up, and call an exterminator? that never works, just costs a lot of money. My point about the whole thing is that brown recluse are really really common in peoples houses. Notice though that you don't hear about that many people having problems after being bit. It happens a lot, maybe even to you when you are sleeping and don't even know. They hunt at night time, and they WILL get on your bed! Not trying to scare anyone but rather the opposite.
@PremiumWater yeah.. i have no idea whats up with your comment, but brown recluse bites are definately not ones to be messed with. theyre one of the most poisonous spiders in the US. My dad got bit and the doctors said if his mark got bigger than a dime he'd have to have surgery. So you're definately wrong.
I read your description and you make a good point about humans being more dangerous. but then again i don't think you would ever be lucky enough to come home to 3 people in your bathtub at different times.
yes that is a brown recluse. also know as violen spider because the mark near its head is shaped like a violin. it will get agressive if startled and its venom is dandrous and causes the skin to rot. they will sometimes go into peoples wardrobe and when the person puts on a shirt the spider is in it will bite him out of fright. they can kill u so becareful
it looks like a brown recluse to me. too truly identify the spider the important part is that it has 6 eyes in 3 groups. 1 in the center and 2 laterally . The violin like marking seems present here so i would beware the bites can be lethal in rare cases. I also have spiders that could be recluses and I cannot see the eyes or get a good enough close up with my camera to tell, so good luck with that. in the mean time i would kill it and preserve it till you can obtain a positive id.
the biggest issue with these is that in some bites, the venom necrotizes the flesh, and its not some super rarity either, perhaps the extreme cases are more rare, but go ahead and google image search brown recluse bites and tell me what you think.
im only saying this because the person who made this video doesn't seem to think its a big deal. Death by venom isn't the issue here, its the big patches of rotting flesh that result from the bite
Brown recluse spider bites don't cause problems for most people. But in a small percentage of cases they can lead to skin damage and scarring. The few people who do have a reaction may notice swelling and skin changes 4-8 hours after the bite.
Man cant find any info on the house spiders in my area it sucks... but there are some quarter sized and 50cent piece sized ones brown looking one anyone have ideas??? really scarey plz help... I live in pacific northwest WA always rainy and wet if that helps
It must have been a Brown Recluse that Bit Peter Parker and turned him into Spidey. The radioactive waves must have neutralized the poison and turned it into power transferring =P
100% recluse. Come to my house if you want big! Fighting an infestation now- and starting to win. A quarter is supposed to be the norm for an adult- but in the right environment, the WILL get bigger. Silver dollar is the largest I've found- no joke.. And they are FAST!!!
DUDE! there are some things that just need to DIE! have you SEEN the bite pics? I usually put bugs(including spiders) outside too, but black widows, wasps and those little Fckers DIE! got it? DIE!! DIE!! DIE!!! I sugest you bug bomb man, or you'll regret it! those things scare the fck outa me! :(
brown recluses really aren't a threat though and trust me i fucking hate wasps and most spiders but for some reason i love the brown recluse, every year in my house between july and august they crawl around my room, most i find are on the walls, its pretty fucking crazy. the crazyiest experience ive had with one though is i woke up and i found one in my bed squished, where i rolled over it but i didnt get bit somehow not even a red mark.
just caught one in my bedroom... i think it's a brown recluse. there's the violin thing on it. anyway, i'm gonna try and keep it as a pet. scary little bastard though
the best way to tell is to count six eyes instead of eight and/or notice the violin shape of the body... in my opinion, one of the worst bites ever!! NECROSIS
yepppp most deff a brown recluse..i know what them fuckers look like...the legs are those of a brown recluse and the two fang looking things at its head is a dead givaway...and the shape of the body..most deff
yes indeed it is a brown recluse.........just not a very hungry one for a cricket at that present moment....he was more concerned with finding a way out of the cage!

It is extremely unlikely that the effects of the venom would penetrate deeply enough to reach the organs of adult humans which lie 4-6" inside the body on average. Complications from the bite can be lethal,very rarely but the bite itself IS NOT lethal.
ericr530 1 year ago
@axelfbomber Usually only about 1 in 100,000 at the most of these bites are fatal in a healthy adult even if untreated and usually the fatal ones are due to the pre-existing conditions said before.
ericr530 1 year ago
@axelfbomber Like as said as before, the Black Widow, or any variate with a shiny black body with red under markings is the only very serious bite and usally a victim will feel these bites and if not the pain will be unmistakeable. This is a far, far,far more serious bite,being a neurotoxin, than the Brown Recluse which stands a lottery chance of being fatal in most humans.
ericr530 1 year ago
@ericr530 ah but what ur talking about is someone being bitten on the hand or arm. The brown recluse (not saying it's more dangerous than black widow) bite when bitten in the thigh or stomach can kill if not treated. the Fat tissue spreads the venom quickly through the blood stream and actually thousands of people have limbs amputated because of it. now the entomoligist up there is retarded because he said his professor was perfectly alright after the bite which proves he has no clue what he's
axelfbomber 1 year ago
@axelfbomber Wrong, wrong,wrong, thousands of people do not lose limbs to the bite yearly, stop pulling ridiculous numbers out of your ass. The venom causes tissue damage around the area of the bite, not the whole body. It does make sense and someone should seek treatment if bitten. I was bitten on the top of my right hand and a blister about the size of a half golfball formed. the doctor lanced(cut) it open and drained it, the skin healed several months later.
ericr530 1 year ago
@ericr530 i didn't say yearly i just said thousands also i did not say the bit was lethal untreated it can be lethal those are the only corrections i wanted to say :D
axelfbomber 1 year ago
@axelfbomber Thousands of people have not lost limbs to the Recluse bite period. Maybe a couple of hundred at the most. Untreated the complications from the bite, i.e. secondary infection can be lethal, but still this is very,very rare.

people CAN loose limbs from the bite if it goes untreated...but yeah...definately not thousands a year.

I caught a brown recluse too. I had him for about a week before I put some sugar ants in his enclosure. He went after them so I put in a cricket as well. He ate the cricket and got a fat really abdomen. The one you got has a swollen abdomen, so maybe he is already sufficiently stuffed with food.

Painful and disgusting, took a few months to heal. Not dangerous like the black widow though which will require a trip to the emergency room.

Summer time in hot weather i wake up and there is always a spider in teh bathtub. It does not look like this. it has shorter legs, black, guess its a recluse spider, extremely fast, but it cant crawl back out of the tub when it tries to. i usually put on my swat gear and capture it in a plastic seethrough bowl and set it free outside. how the hell do they get in there and its not the drainage holes in tub, and my windows are closed. i sit at desk in room and another one crawls by. lol

fizzymax555 2 years ago
I was an entomology minor in college and I did take a class on arachnids. We spent a day on the recluse and their bite is not lethal. Many people are bitten by recluses and don't know it. My professor actually forced one to bite him and all he had was a slow healing bruise that took about a month to heal. They are also a common house spider in indigenous areas. In one house where one was found they put glue pads under a bed and caught 11 recluses.

It's actually the most misdiagnosed spider bite. Usually the decomposition is from a bacterial infection not transmitted by the recluse.

@broadcastmyass4u Both of you need to get your house exterminated. Myself and a friend of mine have been bitten once in the past 25 years we have known each other. Oh really! If you found 17 adult brown recluse spiders in your house then you have a serious infestation, and have the stealth skills of a native American and you beat lottery odds, and also found a golden needle in a haystack. Take heed of the previous instruction.
ericr530 1 year ago
@ericr530 Well it's not like i just made that up, and call an exterminator? that never works, just costs a lot of money. My point about the whole thing is that brown recluse are really really common in peoples houses. Notice though that you don't hear about that many people having problems after being bit. It happens a lot, maybe even to you when you are sleeping and don't even know. They hunt at night time, and they WILL get on your bed! Not trying to scare anyone but rather the opposite.

it looks like a brown recluse to me. too truly identify the spider the important part is that it has 6 eyes in 3 groups. 1 in the center and 2 laterally . The violin like marking seems present here so i would beware the bites can be lethal in rare cases. I also have spiders that could be recluses and I cannot see the eyes or get a good enough close up with my camera to tell, so good luck with that. in the mean time i would kill it and preserve it till you can obtain a positive id.

the biggest issue with these is that in some bites, the venom necrotizes the flesh, and its not some super rarity either, perhaps the extreme cases are more rare, but go ahead and google image search brown recluse bites and tell me what you think.
im only saying this because the person who made this video doesn't seem to think its a big deal. Death by venom isn't the issue here, its the big patches of rotting flesh that result from the bite

Brown recluse spider bites don't cause problems for most people. But in a small percentage of cases they can lead to skin damage and scarring. The few people who do have a reaction may notice swelling and skin changes 4-8 hours after the bite.
