Learning about the Characteristics of the Brown Recluse Spider?
Out of the thousands of species of spiders in the world the brown recluse has some of the most fascinating characteristics. Consider these unique traits of the brown recluse spider. A brown recluse spider lives up to its name by spending most of its time in quiet, dark spaces. Brown recluses make their homes in crawl spaces underneath buildings, corners of attics, and even under fallen logs. These spiders live in places where there is very little human activity. Though these spiders are not aggressive, they will bite if they feel threatened. Since brown recluses don't like to be around humans, bites usually occur in an accidental way. For instance, a person may try on a pair of shoes that have been in the attic for several years only to get a bite from a brown recluse that has made its home in the old shoes. In short, it's rare to find a brown recluse wandering around outside its home. Another interesting characteristic of a brown recluse spider is the marking on its back. Sometimes brown recluses are called, fiddle spiders' because of the marking that looks like a violin on the upper side of their body. Trying to identify a brown recluse spider by this marking can be tricky because the design may be hard to see especially if it's a young spider. Furthermore, not all brown recluses are the same shade of brown. Some are light brown while others are dark brown. It may take an entomologist to determine whether a brown spider is indeed a brown recluse. There are many brown spiders that have been misidentified as brown recluses. Unlike many other spiders, a brown recluse doesn't use a web to catch its food. These spiders hunt during the night and feed on insects both alive and dead. They kill insects with their venom. The final trait that makes the brown recluse different from many other spiders is that it has six eyes instead of eight. It has three pairs of eyes in specific places on its head. Most spiders have eight eyes organized in rows.
Brown Recluse Spiders And Spider Bite Diagnosis?
Around the world, people deal with various types of dangerous insects and arachnids. In many parts of the world, insect bites are extremely dangerous due to a lack of local health care options. Although brown recluse spiders are generally very small, their venom is incredibly dangerous. These spiders are generally medium brown, though they are occasionally gray or dark gray bordering on black. Their bodies are angular and segmented and almost appear similar to crabs' bodies. Fortunately for human beings, these spiders are fairly easy to identify. Though many other spiders have similar shapes and colorations, brown recluses are among only a few spiders that have three pairs of eyes. With their six eyes, brown recluses are quite unique and singular in appearance. Brown recluse spiders are naturally found in parts of the American Southwest and in part of the southern Midwest. Every year, people mistakenly identify these spiders in places outside their known range. Because of this false reportage, the public has gained a fear of recluse bites that borders on hysteria. In fact, these spiders have entered the folklore of many states where no specimens can be found. Brown recluse bites are occasionally very serious. They can lead to necrosis, gangrene and even the loss of limbs. However, these bites are only deadly in a tiny percentage of cases. Groups most vulnerable include the elderly, young children and those with compromised immune systems. Research has shown that the great majority of reported brown recluse bites are not recluse bites at all. Medical professionals routinely misdiagnose necrotic wounds as brown recluse wounds. Suspected brown recluse bites often turn out to be symptoms of Lyme disease, fungal infections or STDs. Doctors and patients should keep open minds when analyzing potential brown recluse bites. Misdiagnosis can have life-threatening effects. Unfortunately, doctors and medical responders are hampered by their lack of knowledge in the field of arachnology. Other types of spiders can trouble people with frightening bites. Hobo spiders and yellow sac spiders can cause necrotic bite wounds. In most cases, these bites are relatively harmless. While brown recluse bites are potentially deadly, brown recluse spiders are generally not aggressive. These spiders usually only bite when directly pressed against skin.
Are brown recluse spiders aggressive?
No, they are retiring and secretive (hence: "Recluse"). They are not aggressive biters, but if you are bit, it is serious and needs immediate medical attention. Chances of death are actually very small, but on the other hand, it is no ordinary spider bite, either.
