Following this page it is relatively brown but when it comes the abdomen or butt i think where connects to the upper body is white then the rest is dark brown the oddest part is how big it's fangs are or maybe they are not fangs but they are pitch black and considering the spider to be your size without your legs they would go from your neck to your elbow on a human based scale the spider originally is about half an inch it's extremely aggressive and how i know it's not a hobo. i have taken my time to catch a hobo that is more likely bigger than an inch and from my research doesn't have whatever these black fangs or whatever are. one last thing this spider also appears to have not fuzz/furry legs but spines with a good space between them. hopefully someone can identify this spider i've looked everywhere it might just be a freak of nature but we'll see. sorry i'm unable to provide photos i don't have any cameras that will give a clear picture. this spider i caught is quite everyone keeps on telling me its a hobo but i don’t think so. now i dont know all the terms for the body of a spider but i’m going to describe this spider hoping that someone will be able to identify it for me.

So I lifted up my pant leg and saw what appeared to be what my bff thought was "just a zit" because it was tiny and had a white puss center. So naturally I scratched at it and squeezed at it to get the puss out. Today it is Monday, May 31st, and now what was originally a tiny dot of puss is now a blackish hole with like dried blood or something on the top covering it. The immediate area around it is very hard and it hurts. Then there is a larger area around that that is red and painful. And then if you poke above the red area above it (towards my femur, so proximal to my body) that part is tender too. It doesn't itch or anything. Its sore when I walk but hurts more when I touch it. Its warm to the touch compared to the rest of my leg. I spent 20 min. earlier today squeezing it a whole bunch to try and get any infection out. Puss and a yellowish-clear came out as well as blood. I put a lot of hydrogen peroxide on it. So much that for about an hour, the edges of the hole were white from the peroxide. Oh yeah, the hole is about the size of a 14 gauge needle. And at first I hadn't really noticed any bite marks, but that big hole is one, and now another bite mark is showing up next to it. It hasn't bled or leaked any puss or anything yet, but its currently a faint black/purple-ish blue color. :( Anybody know what kinda of spider or something bit me?! My Dad is concerned, he doesn't know whats gonna happen to it- But he said that whatever bit me is giving me a bad bite. D: Please, if you know anything about what kind of spider this is, please email me at becca1339@yahoo.com I plan on getting my RN to be a registered nurse a year after I graduate. I'm absolutely terrified of spiders to death. I'm not even kidding. I'm really scared, I don't want to have to lose my leg or something because I don't know how to treat it or anything. :( My Dad is gonna get my an appointment with a Dr really soon, I just don't know when. If your able to help at all I think you VERY much!!! I hope none of you ever get bitten by another spider, and certainly not this one.

It is rather large, slightly bigger then a quarter, brown and lightly hairy, and has a violin shape on its abdomen(topside), not its back. I know the brown recluse has a violin, but was told its only on its back, not its abdomen.I was not bitten, but would like to educate myself for future encounters. Anyone know what kind that is? or is it a different kind of recluse? Any help is appreciated. I live in phoenix Arizona, It took nearly a dozen electric fly swatter hits to kill it, i wanted to preserve it for pictures. Will uplod some in a couple days.

They like woodpiles, porches, but don't hesitate to move into the house. You get an itchy spot that looks like fang marks. 2 little dots and if you scratch it, watch out, the poison spreads and the sore just gets worse. I usually get 2 days of headache that won't go away no matter what medication I take and 2 days of mild diarrhea. Getting the yard sprayed on a regular basis helps, but if you have houses around you that are vacant or not maintained they do and will come back. Just thought someone might benefit from this info. I've become an expert. I have been fighting these little brown devils for several years now. They like woodpiles, porches, but don’t hesitate to move into the house.
