The Chinese black earth tiger tarantula is a large, dark spider that lives in burrows on the island of Hainan, off southern China. It is one of several spiders from China and Vietnam known as the Chinese bird spider. Scientists study its venom because it is considered highly venomous.1

Hoe om dit te herken

  • Dark black-brown body1
  • Abdomen (rear body) is dark brown with six black stripes running across it and a black stripe down the centre of the upper surface1
  • Carapace (upper front body) is black-brown, and the underside of the front body is red-brown1
  • Females are about 60 mm long (body plus chelicerae, the fang-bearing mouthparts), with longer legs than males1
  • Males are smaller, about 34 mm long, but have legs of a similar length to the female's1

Word dikwels verwar met: It resembles Cyriopagopus schmidti. The Chinese black earth tiger tarantula can be told apart by its dark black-brown body and by the longer thorns on the forward-facing side of the maxillae (the mouthparts that hold the fangs).1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Its venom is a complex neurotoxin, meaning it attacks the nervous system. It contains many compounds that block neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that carry signals between nerves, including neurotoxic peptides called hainantoxins. The effects of its bite on humans are not well documented.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

The effects of its bite on people are not well documented. In laboratory tests, its venom is often lethal to mice and rats in small doses, so it is generally regarded as a highly venomous species.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

It stays hidden in its silk-lined burrow during the day, and its silk alarm lines radiate from the burrow mouth.1

As dit byt

  • Was die byt en koel dit af. Kry mediese hulp as die pyn erg is 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
