Also Know, are there brown recluse spiders in France?
The culprit is the brown recluse spider, also known as the fiddleback; a species native to North America but which has been recorded in France over the last 15 years. It measures only a centimetre and a half, but its bite packs a punch, with venom that causes necrosis, or cell death, of the skin tissue.
To identify a brown recluse, look for a sandy brown spider with a darker mark on its body and long, uniformly colored legs with no markings. If you can, get a closer look at the dark shape on the body to see if it is all one color, or many different colors. If it's a uniform color, the spider is likely a brown recluse.
