The southern house spider is a large spider that lives in the Americas, from the southern United States to Argentina. It is often mistaken for the brown recluse, but it is not aggressive and rarely bites. Its males wander around looking for mates, and both sexes can squeeze through very narrow cracks.1

땅에서, 대략적인 추측

뭘 먹을까?

It catches insects in its web. It combs silk across a spiked plate called the cribellum, which frays the threads into a fine, velcro-like net that catches insect legs.1

알아보는 법

Females are dark brown or black and more compact in shape, with often larger, bulbous bodies.1
Males have longer legs and unusually long, slender pedipalps (the leg-like feelers near the mouth).1
Males lack the violin-shaped marking on the front part of the body that the brown recluse has.1
The abdomen (rear part of the body) is covered in fine, velvety light grey hair.1
Both sexes may grow to about 5.1 cm across with legs extended.1

자주 헷갈리는 동물: Males are often mistaken for the brown recluse because they have similar colours and body structure. Male southern house spiders are usually larger, have no violin shape on the front of the body, and have long, slender pedipalps.1

사람에게 얼마나 위험할까?

사람에게 위험한 정도: 약함벌에 쏘인 정도거나 그보다 덜해. 사람에게는 거의 무해해.

Males may seem aggressive, but they bite only when trapped. Their mouthparts are too small to easily get through human skin, so bites are unlikely to be harmful.1

무서울 때 어떻게 할까?

When it feels threatened, it instinctively plays dead, a tactic that works well against its common predators.1

안전하게 지내

야생 동물은 작더라도, 자거나 죽은 것처럼 보이더라도 절대 만지거나, 잡거나, 괴롭히지 마.
거리를 둬. 마주치면 침착하게 천천히 뒤로 물러나서 제 갈 길을 가게 해 줘.
물렸다면: 침착하게, 가만히 있고, 응급 번호(112, 000, 911)에 전화하거나 빨리 병원에 가. 생김새를 기억해 둬. 사진이 있으면 도움이 돼.

알아 둘 만해

사실

It is a cribellate spider, meaning its silk is not sticky. Its web works by tangling silk into a velcro-like net.1

It can crawl through cracks as narrow as 0.66 cm, thanks to its long body and compact legs.1

It is almost blind, so it may crawl over anything in its path, living or not, without meaning to attack.1

Its mating ritual can last over an hour, with long pauses where neither spider moves much.1

Its family, Filistatidae, is known as the crevice weavers because the females build webs around cracks.1

오해 바로잡기

오해: Southern house spiders are aggressive and bite people often.

진실: Males may look aggressive, but they bite only when trapped, and their mouthparts are too small to easily penetrate human skin. Their crawling over things is not aggression, as they cannot see larger animals.1
