The European purseweb spider is a small, hidden spider that lives in the ground. It is found in mainland Europe, Great Britain and North Africa, and it is the only mygalomorph spider found in the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom. It is special because it builds a silk tube partly under the ground and catches insects that walk onto it.1

Leef in
Mainland Europe, Great Britain, North Africa; in the Nordics only on south-facing slopes in the south of Denmark and southern Sweden1
Europa
Tuis
Dry heathland, open pine forest, meadows, grassland and the base of rocky outcrops. Because it lives hidden, it is easily overlooked, though adult males may be seen wandering for a short time when they search for females.1
Lengte
7 mm tot 1,5 cm (0,3 in tot 0,6 in)1
Topspoed
omtrent 1,1 km/h (0,68 mph)
Op land, rowwe skatting
Wat eet dit?
It waits for an insect to land or crawl onto the tube above ground. It then bites through the silk and pulls the insect inside.1

Hoe om dit te herken

  • Black or brownish in colour1
  • Not particularly large: males are 7–9 mm and females are 10–15 mm long1
  • Builds a silk tube that is partly underground, with the part above ground covered in leaves and other debris1
  • Usually stays inside its web and does not leave except to mate1
  • Young spiderlings are often very lightly coloured1

Word dikwels verwar met: It looks much like Atypus piceus. Spiderlings of the European purseweb spider are often very lightly coloured, and its three-part posterior spinnerets do not have a light blot, which helps tell them apart.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.

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

Feite

1

Its fangs point straight down rather than crossing, as in other mygalomorph spiders.1

2

Autumn is its mating season. The male enters the female's burrow, where they live together until the male dies soon after mating.1

3

It is a mygalomorph spider, and it is the only mygalomorph spider found in the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom.1

4

It becomes sexually mature at about 4 years old.1

Mite-breker

Mite: The European purseweb spider lives in Ireland.

Waarheid: It was once listed for Ireland, based on a single silk tube found in 1896. This is now thought to be most likely from a plant nursery import, and the species is no longer recognised as living on the island.1
