Hoe om dit te herken

Shiny black, globular abdomen (rear body part)1
Two separate, non-overlapping stripes on the top and sides of the abdomen1
Stripes are ivory-yellow on young females and orange-red on mature females1
Females are 8 mm to 12 mm long, with the larger size when pregnant1
Males are about half the size of females, with less prominent markings1

Word dikwels verwar met: It resembles the true black widow, but the true black widow has markings on both the top and the underside of the abdomen. This species has only two stripes on the top and sides, which do not overlap.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
