Started out as a bump and itched like hell then formed a ring around it after an hour or so and the next day the skin started to peel off. It hurts like hell but there is no swelling. Any idea?

If you have good eyesight you can tell by their eyes though. The jumping spider family is the only one with 4 pairs of eyes, and they surround the upper portion of the head. The front pair is considerably bigger than the pairs on the side and rear. I’m not a specialist on jumping spiders, but I have had an interest in them for 15 years, and researched as well as handled dozens of species without ever getting bit. But the best way to find out for sure is to do an internet search of “jumping spiders (your region)”. I hope this helped, Jacob Wolfe.

When daughter attempted to go under the arbor the spider lept out and bit daughter. You could see the punctures, and the bite turned into a welt and was red. No necrosis developed, but she said it hurt and itched.
