omtrent 1,8 km/h (1,1 mph)

Op land, rowwe skatting

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Its venom contains many neurotoxins, which are poisons that affect the nerves. They mainly act on sodium and calcium ion channels, which are the gates that let charged particles move in and out of nerve and muscle cells. The venom also contains enzymes, including serine proteases, metalloproteases, cholinesterases and hyaluronidases, which may explain some of the effects of a bite.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: Ernstig'n Byt moet deur 'n dokter gesien word. Sterftes is baie skaars.

Most recorded human bites caused mild to moderate symptoms. All the recorded bites were from adult spiders. One bite caused severe symptoms, including kidney failure (renal failure).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

Each egg sac can hold up to 1300 eggs, which is far more than most spiders produce.1

Adult females can have a stride length of more than 10 centimetres.1

Spiderlings become adults only after 14 to 17 moults.1

Sexual maturity is reached 300 to 465 days after the spiderlings leave the egg sac.1

It prefers disturbed land, such as areas changed by people, rather than deep undisturbed forest.1
