Gigitan

Bisa keluar melalui taring atau giginya apabila ia menggigit.

Apa kesan bisanya?

Like all tarantulas, it has fangs and venom, but its venom is relatively harmless. Its effects are comparable to those of a wasp sting. Some bites are 'dry bites', meaning no venom is injected.1

Berapa bahaya ia kepada manusia?

Bahaya kepada manusia: MenyakitkanIa boleh jadi sangat sakit, tetapi hampir tidak pernah serius.

Tarantulas generally bite people only in self-defence. Its venom is comparable to a wasp sting. Its urticating hairs, which it releases when threatened, are a severe irritant to skin and mucous membranes.1

Apa yang ia buat apabila takut?

When threatened, it rubs its setae together to make a hissing sound, and rubs its abdomen with its hind legs to release irritating hairs.1
