Kipling's jumping spider is a colourful jumping spider that lives in Central America, including Mexico, Costa Rica and Guatemala. Unlike most spiders, it gets most of its food from plants, mainly small nutrient-rich nubs that grow on acacia trees.1

Wat eet dit?

Most of its diet is Beltian bodies, protein- and fat-rich nubs that form at the tips of acacia leaves as part of a partnership with certain ants. It also drinks nectar and sometimes steals ant larvae from passing worker ants, and occasionally eats others of its own kind, especially in the dry season.1

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 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

Its diet is mostly plants, more strongly plant-based than that of any other known omnivorous spider.1

Populations of several hundred spiders have been found on single acacia trees in Mexico, with more than twice as many females as males.1

Its genus is one of four named after characters from Kipling's stories, along with Akela, Messua and Nagaina.1

Only the male was described in 1896, and the female was not described until 100 years later, by Wayne Maddison.1

It appears to breed throughout the year.1
