Hoe om dit te herken

Adults have a flat, brown body about 2.2 to 2.8 cm long.1
Leg span is about 7 to 10 cm.1
The area just in front of the eyes is cream or yellowish.1
A wide band behind the eyes is usually tan in females and cream in males.1
The body is not very hairy, but the legs have hairs (setae), each marked with a black dot.1

Word dikwels verwar met: In Bermuda, where most are found indoors, it is often called a house spider, which may be confused with the southern house spider. It is sometimes called a wolf spider, which should not be confused with the true wolf spiders of the family Lycosidae.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
