Southern tree-dwelling funnel-web spider
This is a funnel-web spider that spends most of its life in trees. It lives in eastern Australia, and its venom is strong enough that its bites are treated as serious medical emergencies. It is one of only two Australian funnel-web species that mostly live in trees.1

Gifkrag
Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.
Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?
Its venom contains a peptide called Hc3a, a small protein molecule. It does not contain atraxotoxin or atraxin, which are found in the Sydney funnel-web, yet its symptoms are very similar. Symptoms can begin within 15 to 20 minutes and include heavy sweating, high blood pressure, a fast heart rate, nausea, vomiting and pain at the bite site. Fluid can build up in the lungs early on (pulmonary oedema).1
Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?
Gevaar vir mense: Baie gevaarlikDit kan 'n mens doodmaak wat geen behandeling kry nie.Three out of four recorded bites caused severe symptoms. This is a higher proportion than the Sydney funnel-web spider.1
Goeie nuus: dokters het 'n medisyne (teengif) of 'n behandeling hiervoor.1
As dit byt
- Applying pressure and a tourniquet can significantly delay the onset of symptoms and is a critical part of managing a bite from an Australian funnel-web spider. The venom can be successfully treated with antivenom made for the Sydney funnel-web spider.1
- Was die byt en koel dit af. Kry mediese hulp as die pyn erg is of die persoon sleg voel.
- In Australië, behandel enige byt van 'n groot swart spinnekop as 'n tregterwebspinnekop-byt: Drukimmobilisasie: draai 'n stewige elastiese verband oor die byt en dan op oor die hele arm of been, spalk dit en hou die persoon heeltemal stil totdat hulp opdaag.
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
Three out of four recorded bites from this spider caused severe symptoms, a higher share than the Sydney funnel-web spider.1
Symptoms can start within 15 to 20 minutes of a bite.1
Its venom does not contain atraxotoxin or atraxin, yet its symptoms are very similar to those of the Sydney funnel-web.1
It is one of only two Australian funnel-web species that live mainly in trees, the other being the northern tree-dwelling funnel-web (Hadronyche formidabilis).1
Genetic analysis shows that this spider has spread through parts of southeastern New South Wales quite recently and rapidly.1
The type specimen, a female collected in Sydney, was destroyed in World War II bombing, so a neotype was chosen in 2010 and is kept at the Australian Museum in Sydney.1
