Subject is either a wolf spider or a brown recluse. I was bitten on my 4th toe. Approximately 1 hour ago. No reaction so far.

Hi, this looks like a Dotted Wolf Spider, Rabidosa punctulata. (The dots are on the underside.) They’re not considered to be of medical significance, everyone’s immune system is different though, and you want to avoid any secondary infection so keep it clean. I hope it remains a no-reaction situation for you. 🙂
