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

Hobbyists nickname it OBT, short for orange baboon tarantula or orange bitey thing, and call it the pterror, a pun on its genus name.1

It can be found in five known colour forms, and the colour is thought to be linked to the type of soil where each form lives.1

Unlike some New World tarantulas, it has no urticating hairs to irritate the skin.1

It builds a tunnel-shaped web.1

It is a nocturnal spider, so it is most active at night.1
