| Typical brown recluse bite is quarter sized with a white halo in the middle. I'm in an environment with lots of folks who get bitten. Will knock you down a week or two with medications. Brown recluses are actually more common and worse than Black Widows. |

They run 10 mph, jump three feet, are a nocturnal spider, so only come
out at night unless they are in shade. When they bite you, you are injected with Novocain so you go numb instantly. You don't even know you are bitten when you are sleeping, so you wake up with part of your leg or arm missing because it has been gnawing on it all night long. If you are walking around and you bump something that is casting a shadow over it, and the sun makes contact with it, you better run. It will instantly run for your shadow, and scream the whole time it is chasing you.
PS. The one on the bottom is eating the one on the top. These are
Spiders found daily in IRAQ by troops. Imagine waking up and seeing one of these in your tent!!

Their size is what makes them such nasty little bastards. Most people don't even see them coming, nor do they assume that they are capable of such terrible bites.
I killed a recluse in our storage shed about four years ago. They're really not all that hard to crush. A black widow, on the other hand, has a ridiculously hard exoskeleton. (Three strikes with a shoe to kill one that I found some years ago.) |

haha jace you stirrer, haven't you read snopes?
| quote: | | According to most spider experts, these claims are all false. Camel spiders (so named because, like camels, they can be found in sandy desert regions) grow to be moderately large (about a 5" leg span), but nowhere near as large as dinner plates; they can move very quickly in comparison to other arthropods (a top speed of maybe 10 MPH), but nothing close 25 MPH; they make no noise; and they capture prey without the use of either venom or anesthetic. Camel spiders rely on speed, stealth, and the (non-venomous) bite of powerful jaws to feed on small prey such as other arthropods (e.g., scorpions, crickets, pillbugs), lizards, and possibly mice or birds. They use only three pairs of legs in running; the frontmost pair (called pedipalpa) is held aloft and used in a similar manner to the antennae of insects. Camel spiders shun the sun and generally hide during the day, coming out at night to do their hunting. |
