Downvoted because it's extremely unlikely. Spiders rarely bite in the first place and 5 times is bordering on absurd.
Utter nonsense. Where did you even get this?
It is indeed impossible to tell, but betting on a spider is one of the worst bets you can make in this case.
No it's absolutely a spider, I can tell.

Am spider, only bite even number of times. Never odd.
I was thinking the same. I've been bit by a lot of things but never recall being bit by a spider (at least while conscious). Maybe 1 or 2 bites I'd believe but 5 would be incredibly unlikely.
I've had a lot of exposure to spiders for the last 20 years, including keeping my own since I was 16. I've never been bitten and my brother (who did more of the handling than me), was only bitten twice. And we kept plenty of the more "aggressive" spiders that are much more likely to bite than your average spider.
And a single spider biting more than at most 2 times is pretty much unheard of. 5 bites is a very strong indicator it was a blood seeking insect.
I can tell because a lifetime of spider bites. They absolutely do bite often.
Unless you regularly sleep in a pit of spiders, seems like you have a lifetime of misconceptions. They don't.
