In brief:
Brown reculse
Brown recluse spider bites often go unnoticed initially because they are usually painless bites.

Brown recluse spider bites often go unnoticed initially because they are usually painless bites.
Occasionally, some minor burning that feels like a bee sting is noticed at the time of the bite. Symptoms usually develop two to eight hours after a bite. Symptoms can include: severe pain at bite site after about 4 hours, severe itching, nausea, vomiting, fever, blistering, necrosis(tissue death).
