Chilean six-eyed sand spider
The Chilean six-eyed sand spider is a small spider that lives in the deserts of northern and central Chile. It hides under rocks and comes out at night. Its venom has effects similar to those of the Chilean recluse spider, which is why it matters to people who live nearby.1

Kako jo prepoznaš
- Body length of 12 to 20 mm1
- Active at night, with nocturnal habits1
- Shelters under rocks on sandy ground1
- Very common in urban areas with household waste1
Pogosto zamenjujejo z: Older records under the name Sicarius terrosus may actually describe other species, such as Sicarius levii. Names in older books can therefore be unreliable.1
Moč strupa
Strup pride ven skozi strupnike ali zobe, ko ugrizne.
Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?
Its venom contains an enzyme called sphingomyelinase D, which has effects similar to those of the Chilean recluse spider. In laboratory tests the venom broke down red blood cells (haemolysis) and damaged skin cells, and 50 μg was enough to cause dermonecrosis, or the death of skin tissue. The venom also broke down fibrinogen, a protein needed for blood to clot.1
Kako nevarna je za ljudi?
Nevarnost za ljudi: BolečeLahko zelo boli, a skoraj nikoli ni resno.Laboratory work shows that the venom can damage human tissue. Adult spiders carry up to eight times the amount of venom tested, so bites from adults could cause more serious lesions.1
Če ugrizne
- Ugriz umij in nanj daj ledeni obkladek proti bolečini. Poišči zdravniško pomoč, če je bolečina močna, se širi ali se poškodovanec slabo počuti.

Ostani varen
- Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
- Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
- Če te ugrizne: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.
Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva
In 2020 a 20 mm spider was recorded preying on a 28 mm gecko, which is larger than the spider itself.1
Its venom breaks down fibrinogen, a clotting protein, faster than the venom of the Loxosceles species it was compared with.1
Scientists found that 50 μg of its venom was enough to cause dermonecrosis in laboratory tests.1
It is extremely common in Chilean cities where household waste is plentiful.1
Razbijalec mitov
Mit: The species is known as Sicarius terrosus.
Resnica: The correct name is Sicarius thomisoides. The name terrosus was used for this species for a long time, but it was often used wrongly for other species too.1
