Kosk egiten badu
- Garbitu koska eta jarri izotz-poltsa bat gainean minerako. Lortu mediku-laguntza mina handia bada, zabaltzen bada edo pertsona gaizki sentitzen bada.
Deitu beti lehenik zure larrialdi-zenbakira (112, 000, 911). Lehen sorospenei buruzko orientabide orokorra da hau, ez mediku-aholkua. Lehen sorospenen oinarriak
Egon seguru
- Ez ukitu, ez harrapatu eta ez zirikatu inoiz animalia basati bat, txikia izan arren, eta lo edo hilda dagoela badirudi ere.
- Utzi tartea. Bat aurkitzen baduzu, egon lasai, egin atzera poliki eta utzi bere bidetik joaten.
- Batek kosk egiten badizu: egon lasai, egon geldi, deitu zure larrialdi-zenbakira (112, 000, 911) edo joan ospitalera azkar. Gogoratu nolakoa zen, argazki batek laguntzen du.
Ez dabil zure atzetik. Pozoia janaria harrapatzeko edo bere burua babesteko erabiltzen du, eta askoz nahiago du ezkutatu. Seguru egoteari buruz gehiago

Datuak
Many mating encounters, about one-third in one study, end with the female eating the male.1
The folk dance called the tarantella is linked to an old belief about this spider's bite.1
Females spend their whole lives in their burrows, apart from night-time trips to hunt.1
Wolf spiders have quite good eyesight, so a person is unlikely to approach one unseen.1
Mature males leave their burrows and wander about looking for mates.1
Mito-hauslea
Mitoa: A bite from this spider can cause severe illness called tarantism, which must be treated by dancing.
Egia: This was a traditional superstition in Apulia. The bites are not known to cause severe symptoms in humans or to endanger life.1
