[QUOTE="Oursapoil, post: 181164, member: 33266"] Hello Steve, Welcome to the forum. The brown recluse is not a tarantula although I am sure a few people on the forum might help with responding to your question :) I personally know that the males are the ones to worry about and if you were bitten by one I imagine you would have at least a mark left behind as souvenir. This said every bite is unique. Did you bring the spider to your doctor or to the ER and was it identified as a brown recluse? Except for the males wandering for females (but not often in the open) as it’s name suggests it, it is not a spider you should see often, even if it is often present in basements, garage and dark corners. Will keep an eye on this to see if more knowledgeable people can help. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
