I live in Rockford, IL.. and went out ( at 7:30 a.m. on a cloudy day) to my truck to bring in some things I had bought yesterday..
I have yucca plants on either side of my front sidewalka nd most mornings there is a large web spun across th ewalk between them. It's always empty.
TODAY I didn't see it,, because of the clouds, and walked through it, .. I felt something brush the side of my face and I brushed it away and got a bite!
Now I have some tingling in my arms and I can see two little fang marks. so now I know it wasn't a bee.
Whatever it was, it's wasn't little.. the fang marks are far apart.
I used a Benzocaine stick to stop the stinging.. ..
I'm going out tomorrow to see who/what it was.. unless I'm laying in the hospital with my arm rotting off, gasping for air...
Seriously, I have an average of 23 tarantulas and have never been bitten after 30 years.. so what's up with THIS??
ooops.. forgot to mention.. the bite is on my little finger.
It's quite a bit later in the morning and it's still quite painful :-(
