The katipō is a cobweb spider found only in New Zealand, where it lives in coastal sand dunes. It is closely related to the Australian redback spider. Its bite is venomous to people, but bites are rare.1

Katipō live only in coastal sand dunes close to the sea, usually on the landward side of the dunes where they are sheltered from storms. Webs are built in low dune plants such as pīngao and marram grass, or under driftwood, stones and other debris, including rubbish.1

Katipō feed mainly on ground-dwelling insects. They catch them in an irregular, tangled web spun close to the ground over open sand, among dune plants or under debris.1

  • Adult females have a body length of 8–10 mm (about 0.3–0.4 in).1
  • The red katipō, found in the South Island and lower North Island, has a large black, shiny abdomen with a white-bordered orange or red stripe on top, and a red hourglass-shaped marking underneath.1
  • The black katipō, found in the upper North Island, has no upper red or orange stripe and is somewhat lighter in colour.1
  • Males are 4–5 mm long, white with black stripes and red hourglass-shaped markings.1

Wɔtaa fa no sɛ: Steatoda species, which share the same habitat, are very similar and are called "false katipō" in New Zealand. The katipō has a less shiny, more tapered abdomen, and its side eyes are further apart. It is also similar to the redback, but the katipō has only short hair-like spines on its abdomen, while the redback has a mix of long and short ones.1

The bite can cause latrodectism, a toxic syndrome that affects the nerves and body. Symptoms include extreme pain and, potentially, high blood pressure (hypertension) or seizures.1
