%X Violin spiders (family Sicariidae, genus Loxosceles) are non-aggressive sedentary arachnids with a violin-like cephalothorax whose bite is generally painless(1). Their mean body length is 11.5 mm, with three pairs of eyes and a life expectancy of 5 years on average(1). They are widely distributed across the globe and Loxosceles rufescens is the species that is endemic to the Mediterranean Basin and to the Gulf of Mexico(1,2).<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
