The Zimbabwe brown button spider is a small, venomous spider that lives in parts of southern Africa. It is one of the brown button or brown widow spiders, a group of relatives of the black widow. Its bite can cause unpleasant symptoms, but it is not usually as venomous as the black button or black widow spiders.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Builds a web low down in vegetation1
Its egg sac is smooth and spherical1
The egg sac is pure white when first made and becomes dirty white with age1
The egg sac has a thin inner sac surrounded by a layer of fluffy threads1

Word dikwels verwar met: Its web is placed low in vegetation, much like that of Latrodectus geometricus. Its egg sac is different from those of other African species of the same genus, so the egg sac is one way to tell them apart.1

Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Like all Latrodectus species, it has a neurotoxic venom, which is a venom that acts on the nerves. It acts on nerve endings and causes latrodectism, a set of very unpleasant symptoms in people who are bitten.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

Brown button spiders are not generally as venomous as black button or black widow spiders, such as L. indistinctus.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
