The barn funnel weaver is a spider that often shares homes with people. It builds funnel-shaped webs in corners of houses, sheds and cellars. It is shy and rarely bites.1

Leef in

Nearly worldwide: Europe, North Africa, parts of the Middle East and Central Asia. Introduced to the Americas, Australia and New Zealand.1

Europa

Tuis

It lives in sheltered places, including buildings. Females that live indoors often stay on the same web for years, in attics, basements, cellars and storage rooms that are rarely disturbed. Its funnel web is often built in a corner.1

Lengte

6 mm tot 1,1 cm (0,2 in tot 0,5 in)1

Topspoed

Wat eet dit?

It is an active hunter that uses good eyesight and quick movement, as well as its web. It sits at the back of its funnel and waits for prey to disturb the silk. It then rushes out, grabs the prey and drags it back into the funnel to eat.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Adults are typically dark orange to brown or beige, sometimes greyish.1
Its legs are striped.1
It has two dull, black stripes running along the top of the front part of its body.1
Its abdomen is mottled in brown, beige and grey, with a chevron pattern across the top, like an argyle pattern.1
Females are about 7.5 to 11.5 mm long. Males are smaller, about 6 to 9 mm, with longer, more agile legs.1

Word dikwels verwar met: It was once thought to be a close relative of the Giant House Spider. That spider has since been moved to the genus Eratigena and split into three distinct species.1

Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

Spiders of the genus Tegenaria rarely bite. A bite only happens in self-defence, and it is unlikely to break the skin.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When its web is undisturbed, it retreats to the tip of the funnel and stops responding to movement. If the web is damaged, it tries to flee or curls its body into a ball against a wall or nearby object.1

As dit byt

Was die byt en sit 'n yspak daarop vir die pyn. Kry mediese hulp as die pyn erg is, versprei of die persoon sleg voel.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

In a cave between Greece and Albania, thousands of these spiders were found sharing a web over 100 square metres with another species, which is unusual for them.1

Some females living indoors in rarely disturbed places have reportedly lived for as long as seven years.1

Males usually die in autumn, soon after mating, and rarely live for more than a year.1

Its webs can become quite large if they are left undisturbed.1

Most of its eyes face forward, which helps it spot movement and focus on prey.1

Mite-breker

Mite: This spider is aggressive and will attack people.

Waarheid: It is not particularly aggressive and will often retreat when confronted.1
