The thing is that brown recluse was just standing its ground.

So we’re thinking the spider will be okay, then. Thank you for your very informative thread.

Thinking about my uncle who had *several pounds* of flesh removed from his leg thanks to the infection from a recluse bite.

wharf rat69

I love this for him

Kenneth Robert Marlo66

I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, of course, but… "The communists couldn't take me out and i'll be damned if I let a brown recluse take me out," Rittenhouse wrote in a post on X. …is EXACTLY the kind of thing said by an idiot eventually taken out by a brown recluse. 🤣

Here's how this lined up for me

Marianne Denton32

Thank you for doing our arachnid overlords work. I’m not a spider expert, but the number of times I’ve heard in my area: I saw a Brown Recluse! (no you didn’t) A Brown Recluse viciously bit my foot! (no it didn’t) Is this a Brown Recluse? (pic of what was probably once a wolf spider) No, it is not.

Cheryl McNeilly28

well-explained! my mother couldn't use her right arm for months after a brown recluse bite when I was about seven it was very scary ALSO it was the 70s so she just taught me how to use the gearshift on our VW bug so she could drive

CamelSpyder28

oh no! is the brown recluse ok? poor little guy must have been traumatized after biting something that nasty

Charlotte Moore-Lambert21

has anyone confirmed it’s Loxosceles? I mean I would laugh quite a lot if it was, but you know how often recluses get blamed when no one recovered the spider or even saw a spider do it

Dan19

Does the spider have a GoFundMe or....?

Grand Theft Artaud15

Gonna give that spider a bottle of water and take it out to burger king.

Black Widows, Brown Recluse... where my White spiders at?!

John McLaren14

Live your life so people don’t high-five each other when they hear that you’ve been bitten by a spider.

NOT Lenny Bruce14

But, is the spider ok?

Brainmist13

Spiderspide! Spiderspide! Called 'Recluse' 'cause it likes to hide! Bit that shit on the thigh! Such a shame if he were to go necrotic or have other complications! Karma! Straight from the Spiderspide!

Captain Sidecar12

Shit. I hope the spider's OK.

Dr. Penjamin @ Fanime9

judging by the picture of the bite, it appears to be on his ass so… necrotizing ass crater?

Martha Crawford8

@penaltyboxpro.bsky.social (I mean its Rittenhouse but brown recluses are legit terrifying as you well know)

Noah Joad8

Why would Joe Biden do this?

Simeon Pundit8

I knew a guy who died from a Brown Recluse spider bite. He was overweight and in mediocre shape. So this is promising.

I have some unfortunate news about our spider friend here. It's highly unlikely Kyle Shitterhouse will be in any danger of life altering injuries. entomologytoday.org/2026/03/05/s...

Maman (by Louise Bourgeois) plays the Karma card. I hope her baby (spider) is ok.

My burning question: is the spider okay?

gee, sure hope he doesn't liquify painfully and die in an excruciating way

Hi Spider Expert! Former Brown Recluse victim here. I can vouch for everything you said. Didn't notice the bite, when I did, my hand looked like trump's. I was visiting a country/city where Recluses are a public health issue, the hospital knew what to do. Recovery was long, painful. Good for Kyle.

Here's hoping it bit him in the nuts.

The brown recluse traveled from Georgia to bite him.

Starteller5

Brown recluses can be fatal! Hope the spider is okay!

Jeff From Ohio5

If my comic books were telling the truth, this means the spider will eventually morph into a douche bag

It would be horrible if he got antibiotic resistant gangrene.

NO DISASSEMBLE.5

Hoping RFK steps in here with some raw milk and ivermectin.

Led Zepbound5

A brown recluse bite caused the liver failure that killed Jeff Hanneman from Slayer. I consider this their apology

Was the spider’s name KARMA?

This spider should be in the hall of fame. Thank you for your service, Dante. Very well said.

Mary!! 🐓❤️3

that spider is my hero, didn't think I could love my small friends more lol

dogemperor (PLAY NEO:TWEWY, ZEPTOGRAMS)3

I never thought I'd actively be rooting for the brown recluse spider, but here we are (As long as brown recluses respect the Human-Arachnid Compact I'm fine with 'em. Said compact: "Don't come in my house, stay outside & eat the bugs outside like mosquitos that I don't want in the house" 🕷️)

Tian Pei3

I hope the spider is okay.

/home/numbakrunch3

Not wishing harm but it would be hella funny if he lost an arm like that one guy he shot.

Dr. Acula, M. D.3

Hopefully the spider is ok.

Actual Bear3

I hope the spider doesn't turn into a radioactive murderer

LD3

Great news! What does the hospital admission suggest about the severity of his particular case? Is it safe to assume there’s some suffering involved? Thank you for your service.

Jenova's Witness3

my high school biology teacher liked to gross us out by showing the knot of his calf missing from when he got bit by one.

There ain't no karma like spider bite karma! 🕷

Ru Temple 🌈🧶🫛2

The article mentions he drove (as in drove himself) to Kenosha for his (premeditated) shooting spree. I recall it was his mogher who drove him across that state line. I do not recall whether or not he was a minor at the time. Recluse spider bite couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

LAZARUS2

🥴🥴🥴it's no wonder I'm half crazy...the world is on the brink and we pause to see Kyle Rittenhouse' spider bite. This century is so very strange.

Ayyymos2

I really appreciate the informative thread without pictures! I’m fascinated by spiders and would love to know more about them, but pictures set off my panic response enough to seriously ruin my day.

Dr. Who2

Hoping for a slice of worst case scenario brought to you by karma is a bitch

Rick Taylor2

I know it's probably wrong to be on the spiders side... ...Hopefully, it will effect the muscles that control his trigger finger.

couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy

To be honest, I have to admit that I don't care about this one after he murdered those people and got away with it.

Please check in on the spider

I hope the poison from biting a white supremacist didn't kill the Brown Recluse...

I hope the spider is doing ok.

Too bad So sad Never mind

dragonlady1011.bsky.social48

Do you have an address we can send get well cards to for the spider I mean I hope he suffers and suffers that little shit should be in jail

mr mo0n47

Karma is a weird beast. If he were in prison, where he belongs- he wouldn’t have had to been bitten by a venomous spider. Karma…

InsaneChihuahua45

Kyle loudly complaining, "why the hell was it a 'brown' recluse? Where are all the 'white' recluses?"

Teri41

Lil brown: Thank you! It had to be done. Vote blue!

Did it's mommy cross state lines with it to find him?

Oh No! Poor Crying Kyle 🐀in🏠 My sympathy to the🕷️ #KyleRittenhouse

Brilliant. Antifa is recruiting arachnids 🕷️ Ill gladly make a comfy space in my garden for their services

Great. Now the fucker will think he's Spiderman 😮‍💨😂

I’d love to see the bite wound!

Tom Joad19

That's the best news I've heard all day. I hear they're horrifically painful and gross

Denali FOREVER 🎨🖌🐈‍⬛18

Does the recluse have a gofundme? You know the little whiner is going to sue.

406 Hiker15

It couldn’t happen to a better person. I’m rooting for the spider to win.

Grandma 15

Hope the recluse has been given an antibiotic. Feel well Ms Brown.

May his trigger fingers rot off.

The silly little boy is going to think he's Spiderman now. It was bad enough when he thought he was Rambo.

Happened to me in 2018, I hope his is worse...

Alfred E. Human8

Having once been bitten by a brown recluse and having had severe pain and health issues for a long time afterwards, I used to hate them but they just made a nice stride towards redemption.

Dr. Alexandria Brangwin 🇦🇺8

Technically all the spider had to do was cross state lines to defend agaisnt violent rioters, then bite Kyle in self-defence.

Moi c’est Glenn7

The spider was scared and has the right to stand its ground.

@janettes-999.bsky.social7

The Brown Recluse made its ultimate sacrifice today. RIP, Brown Recluse!

The spider was whisked from the scene and is safely back under the front porch.

My stepmother was bitten by a brown recluse. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. She spent two weeks in the hospital and sadly recovered before the bite ate through her soul.

Pacific Blues6

Did it bite his trigger finger?

coldsassy6

Is whiny incel syndrome transmitted by blood? I sure hope the heroic brown recluse spider makes a full recovery. Viva La Resistance 🕷️

Andy in ATL6

Willing to bet there a more than a few brown recluses that would love to do the same...

Call Me Maybe6

Hope he’s in a ton of pain.

Necrotizing venom do your thing.

My dad complained quite a bit about a wound he attributed to a recluse bite.. Hurt for years after.

is the spider doing well ?

Neil Mick6

Wait, was there an spider doctor in the house? Did it break any of its legs? Oh the Arachnoid-ity! 🕷️

opp36467.bsky.social5

Actually did not know venous toads where affected by venom, good to know, more options

Elaina McCartney5

No doubt he'll take ivermectin.

jimalb1.bsky.social5

probably crossed state lines and shot it.

Mark5

just one??? not the whole family?? are you sure one bite is enough??

Tell your dad I said hi5

He wouldn't have been bitten if he'd been spending life in prison for murder, as he deserved 🤷 Just sayin'.

Impeach & Imprison Krasnov!5

I hope the spider didn't catch stupid incel from Kyle

El Geek5

I have a little friend that wants a turn

SkyEyes5

To be fair, the spider was worried it would be shot by MAGApus oozing along the streets of RedHats filled with HatRed

Chuck Walker5

Oh no! I hope Kyle doesn't doesn't suffer any minor symptoms from this. Serious symptoms, however, ...

If the spider needs some blood or an organ donor give me a call

I suddenly love spiders, so underestimated by mankind.

The only time I'll ever thank those eight-legged little bastards. Black Widows have the decency to spin a visible web.

I wish I could buy that spider a beer 🍻

Hopefully his trigger finger will rot off.

Oooh. Brown Recluse bites are NASTY. Good.

Washu 🏳️‍🌈⚽️🏴‍☠️☯️3

Did he survive? The spider, I mean. Rittenhouse is a nothing

Alicia3

It eats your skin like flush eating bacteria shit said it’s really painful . My x spent 30 days in the hospital into his blood stream. IV surgery to skin crafts

gecko_with_a_limp3

couldn’t have happened to a more worthy crybaby asshole - only wish a few arachnid buddies had joined in selfdefence

alan51972.bsky.social3

My last house was infested with Brown Recluse spiders when I first moved in. I went postal with the bug bombs, using double the recommended number. It did the trick. I never got bitten.

Grumpy Grandpa2

Im a white recluse I stay inside cause I hate most people

Where there is one brown recluse, there are many brown recluses.

That's a lot of toxicity to absorb. Was she taken to a vet?

We should put a nest of them in the oval office.

i may be afraid of spiders, esp the brown recluse, but god speed to that spider

Nina2

I should have a chat with the Black Widow I saw in the yard this week and ask if it wants to join Le Resistance 🤪🤪

smartalecl4.bsky.social2

Maybe spiders aren't so bad. ...ok they still creep me out but at least they bite bad guys

Nonna🌊VoteBlue2

I doubt Kyle stopped crying long enough to answer questions.

majorgoof.bsky.social2

I'm not normally a fan of spiders but I am happy to welcome this one into the resistance. I would offer them shelter if they need it.

piper-sully.bsky.social2

Tell me their bite is deadly please.

Becca Riley2

I think we need to start a GoFundMe for the spider’s vet bills.

dragon7380.bsky.social2

has anyone started a GO FUND ME account to help out the spider? I would gladly donate to that.

Dennis C. Broderick2

If this doesn’t kill him we can have the Spider-Verse send more. Hope Brownie is ok.

Marilyn2

Rittenhouse is a tragedy. He was a teen when he acted. If he hadn't been lauded by the creepy right, he might not have ended up this way.

8Bit DrillBit2

Spider man-gione (not my joke I just had to drop it)

Marian Steffen 2

Peanut butter. Applied immediately after bite. I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself. It actually works.

We are all thinking about that spider. Hopes and prayers……

He is calling ICE on the brown spider!

The brown recluse is the cause of many amputations. Here's hoping Kyle gets everything he deserves.

Did the spider throw up after that?

Sorry to hear he got to the hospital in time.

Republicans will quickly give that spider three names to milk the assassination attempt.

The spider was standing his ground.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the spider and its family. Hopefully if there was a nest it is being taken care of.

The spider only acted in self-defense.

alarod.bsky.social7

The recluse spider got revenge for those killed by Rittenhouse.

Hope the spider didn’t turn into Kyleman.

mapedencoviello.bsky.social4

Oh dear. What a tragedy. I am so sad. Tears are flowing. I mean, of course, for the innocent spider. Just minding its business, doing spidery things. When —bang — thrust into the spotlight. And the little 8-legged guy did its duty, no matter the cost.

Shy Ty🌎☮️4

Those bites are so nasty. They cause necrosis. It literally kills the flesh around the bite wound. I like to think this is karma.

The Resistance CO4

I hope it bit his dick.

KB DogsRule4

Probably died from that murderer's filthy blood.

Martijon3

What an odd thing to happen. Based on the name of the spider, it looks like Kyle was once again going where he didn’t belong.

Lake3

Hey they were just protecting their home and property… that poor spider

gtgnow3

Karma. It can be a b****. Anyway…

Karma will get you eventually. Well deserved Kyle.

Hopefully the spider won't contract rabies.

My one concern: how is the spider doing?

The spider says it was self defense.
