Hi guys,
Could you help me identify this little one?
Background info:
Me and my girlfriend (living in Paris, France) have been getting a few bites recently. The bites are swollen, warm, red and no visible necrosis or large blisters (small blisters at the bite wound though). We seem to be getting them in our apartment - I got one after putting on my t-shirt, indicating it might have been hiding in there. The pharmacist(s) says they look like spider bites, but we haven't been able to find the small bastards, yet.
Today I saw this very little spider (4-5mm) on the floor (picture attached), and wondered if this could be the culprit.
I've been doing some research and found that the brown recluse spider might be a match, though i must stress that I know very little about spiders.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Morten

Definitely not a recluse spider of any kind; possibly a wall spider - see http://www.arachnophoto.com/en/oecobiidae-2/oecobius-navus/ for an example.
These are harmless to humans...
