I wanted to win with the most horrific picture of all! Worse than any insect!
No, I didn't bite her. I think I hit her one time though!
You win
Altho, I don't have pictures, but I have to tell you - my cousin's wife got bit by a brown recluse spider. She has a huge hole in her hip now as a result of it. Talk about UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those spiders are little but they sure do the damage!
My only encounter with one was when I was getting out of the shower one day and put a towel over my head. I dried my face before wrapping my head and felt what I thought was hair on my face.
I brushed it off and it felt rubbery. I looked down in the tub and there he was. Little guy too.
I don't remember jumping out of the tub but suddenly I was on the outside. I'd never seen a brown recluse but heard lots about them. Having a phobia but being alone, I knew I had to kill him, but I needed to identify him as well, just in case.
I put the towel on him several times until his legs curled. I then left him for a couple hours.
I went on the internet to get pics and discovered that one can be bitten and not know it. Off I went to inspect my face really good, fearing that my nose would be gone in the morning if I'd been bitten. Thankfully, I hadn't been.
After a couple hours, I got the nerve to go check him out further. I picked him up and was shaking so bad that if he were to have moved, I wouldn't have noticed. I laid him down on the sink to identify him and he was positive for being a brown recluse.
After that encounter, I shook my towels and clothing, shoes, etc. Never did see another one, and now that I live in Wisconsin, I no longer have them to worry about.
I think my heart rate just jumped from 55 to 155 just typing this all up!

Brown Recluse Spiders if you get bitten by one, barring a miracle it will be nasty!
I wonder what people do in States like Texas, Nevada, New Mexico, & Arizona
where there are Scorpions that like to crawl in places where you might find one.
Scorpions are also one of the ones that it is the tiny ones that can kill you.
