O.M.G google tricked me.

I googled 4 legged spiders and it said it could be a "Brown recluse" I googled that and it has 6 legs. DO NOT google that under google images. The bite marks are

Why did I google that?

It looks like a Philodromus, a Running Crab Spider. Spiders are able to 'drop' legs to escape predators.

He was on the mirror before I knocked him onto the floor..

Watch more I was bitten or other survival programs. There's a snake that does far worse and just keeps coming back to kill flesh decades after the attack.

Well you're really selling this program to me...

I once saw a pic of a brown recluse bite on someone's ballsack. That was not nice to see. :|

God knows how he got it though!

I found a pic of a man whose scrotum was bitten by a yellow sac D) spider. If he survives he'll be a real hit with the ladies.

Google is not my friend tonight.

I saw a thing once about Brown Recluse bites, the affected area stays sore for years and flares up again every so often. Pretty nasty!

Oh and, this looks like yours : http://bugguide.net/node/view/275283

I thought it was only White tail spiders which did that, 'cos it ain't a coventional venom, but some sort of bacterial infection

It's still got enough legs to inject its acid and kill you, so I suggest you engage in a fight to the death with it immediately.

Spiders often loose legs in fights or on webs (no, they're not immune to their own sticky stuff), but 4 seems rather a lot to loose.

Spiders are impressive animals. I just prefer them to be somewhere else.

People have imported British giant house spiders to the USA in an attempt to deal with brown recluse spiders, which are a nasty problem in parts of the USA. The idea is that the large, fast, aggressive and very territorial giant house spiders will drive off or kill the brown recluse spiders. I've no idea if it works.

 

[Strife212]

If we kill every spider we see, surely we can beat them eventually.

I had to laugh at this advice on telling a brown recluse apart from the various similar spiders that can be found in the same parts of the USA:

Certainly perhaps the only foolproof way of identifying these tricky arachnids is to count their eyes. It's true! While most spiders have 8 eyes, the brown recluse is unique in that it has only 6.

I don't know about you, but if I thought a spider might be a brown recluse, I wouldn't choose to get close enough to count its eyes.
