BUG OF THE MONTH

THE BROWN RECLUSE

This spider lives in dark corners and places inside the houses, and also under the furniture, boxes and books.

It has a rather shy and nonaggressive behavior, although occasionally the Brown Recluse Spider bites human because they share the same habitat.

Bite occurs, but only when the spider is disturbed, accidentally touched, and when putting on seldom used clothing and shoes where the BRS has decided to live on.

Its web is of a loose and irregular, yet very sticky thread. It is only built as a daytime retreat, and as an egg holder.

Brown Recluse Spider can survive six months without food or water, hidden in its lair during daytime, roaming at night.

This arachnid prefers undisturbed places, so the Brown Recluse Spider usually bites the human when it is found caught between a body part and another surface; for example, when the children are playing under house furniture as beds, tables or in the garage. Also bite happens while a sleeping human rolls in their bed where the Brown Recluse Spider has climbed, or when dressing with clothes or shoes where the spider has hid itself.

How to identify a spider bite?

These pictures show the most common bite injury caused by a poisonous spider.
Note that you will only feel as if injured by a pin -or nothing at all-- when biten by a poisonous spider, but then venom manifests itself with a bunch of symptoms (use left menu to find out more about this).
