My sister got bit on the right side of her belly about 14 years ago while working in the office at a bolt and nut distrubitor. They think she actually got bit out in the warehouse, not in the office itself. Either way when Isaw the bite it didn"t look quite as bad as the pic but it did leave a pretty sizable wound and a nice scar when it finally healed. The brown recluse releases a necrotoxin which literally kills the cell tissue in the area around the bite. Once the tissue actually dies it gets to looking like the guys hand in the pic. Actually it looks alot like the results from a bad case of frostbite where the same thing happens and the tissue dies. Different reasons for the tissue death, but about the same results. Just for the record a brown recluse or "fiddle back" is typically a smaller spider but I think alot of people tend to mistake the wolf spider, which usually get rather large, as being one of them since they tend to inhabit the same types of places. I don"t know that I"ve ever seen a "large" recluse but I caught a female wolf spider several years ago who"s legs were larger around than a wide mouth mason jar. Dad said it was the biggest spider he had ever seen. I also caught a black widow about a year ago and put her egg sack in with her intending to send it to school with my room mate"s son. They like getting things like that so the city kids have a chance to actually see the spiders that they should avoid. I stuck the plastic jar on a shelf in the shop and forgot about it for several weeks. When I finally remembered it the eggs had hatched and there were probably a thousand little bitty spiders all over the inside of the jar. Needless to say there there was a double layer of masking tape got put over the existing air holes on the top to keep the little buggers in. The teacher loved it because it was something you don"t typically get to see.
