Brown Recluse Spider
Spiders & Scorpions
Brown Recluse – Loxosceles reclusa (Gertz & Muliak). Also know as the “violin spider” this spider causes the most serious bite wound of any of the spiders occurring in the United States. The bite area will turn into a large open ulcerous wound as the venom causes the tissues to die. Unfortunately, these bites look a lot like wounds that appear when a break in the skin gets infected with Staphylococcus spp. bacteria causing misdiagnosis of a brown recluse spider bite when it’s not. The spider has a “violin” marking on the top of the cephalothorax and has very long legs compared to the body with a grayish colored abdomen.
