Mysterious Bug/ spider bites HELP

Utica, NY

I have a question about common house spiders. See when I go to bed I wake up with these bites. it started off only two on my neck then it went to my arm an so forth. I have a couple pictures of these bites but i am at a loss on what is biting me at night when I sleep. Please help me. each bite I get days later ends up bubbling with a clear liquid...which i tend to pop only cause crazy...if anyone knows what kind of bug bite this is please please it will be a great help. the photo i uploaded is one of many bites. i need some help here please. I have two kids a 3 year old an a 1 year old. lucky they are not getting bit just yet. I first noticed the bites couple weeks ago an they where on my neck. to this day the bite is still there an i have gotten 12 other bites including the one in the photo.

Where are you getting them , ie after being in the yard, do you have pets, being at some ones house did you get a new pet , stay at some ones house, been on a trip any change in the last couple weeks anything you can think of is important! Trust me you will see why with one word Bed bugs! It may sound weird but it is possible not from being dirty but just because it happens . rack your brain think and hit me back .

At first I thought it was bed bugs...but then I have not seen any. my brother says they are spider bites but what kind i have no idea. only cause they have been on my body for longer then any bite i have ever had. I haven't slept any but my bed. I do know i have cellar spiders in my house. Also I have seen on the wall outside my apartment door what looked like a baby brown recluse.

i will definitely see if i can get that spider i seen out side my door. that way i can identify it better. An i will go get the bites checked out. also what would cause spiders to bite one person an one person only?

the one on your leg looks bad i would say BR or some thing of the sort . defintly git afew in a sm jar for the doc and go see one and spray the place with Ortho bug spider killer around the walls and put Bug spray bombs in the Apt. for the day I would not wast any time in doing so expecialy with lil ones in the Apt. i Have seen a lot of spider bites in the Army and some not bad but most not good I just dont like bites at all .if ya know what i mean .

The largest solpugid known is the Egyptian giant solpugid (see http://tinyurl.com/2fo9hlx), which can attain a length of 6" (with legs), but it looks nothing like those in the photo from Iraq. That photo was carefully staged to exaggerate the size of the specimens, much like some trophy fish photos. From the human hand visible, I would be quite surprised if their body lengths were more than a couple of inches. Also, those objects are not egg sacs on a back - they are fan-shaped sensory organs called as racquet organs or malleoli on the ventral (under) side of the last pair of legs of the solpugid.

So I found the culprit who bite me. It is from a Cellar Spider. Come to find out there is a nest next to my bed. Although not poisons to us human beings I am allergic to their venom lol

I need help identifying some insect eggs that I've been finding in the garden over the past couple of weeks now. They're always on the leaves of my swiss chard and spinach. They look like a mass of small white pieces of rice. I have included a picture, although its a little blurry. Can anyone let me know if these are the eggs of a beneficial insect, or should I destroy them when I see them? Thanks!

The camel spiders aren't as big as they appear in the photo.
That and that's two spiders. A lot of people for some reason look at it, and think it's one big bug.

Brown recluse spiders aren't found in NY.
You can find a range map here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_recluse_spider

People often blame the brown recluse for spider bites, not realizing they don't even have them in their area, due to their bad reputation.
