Kaj je?

It usually eats small insects and household pests that get caught in its web. If prey is too quick, it shoots web at it from a distance and then pulls the thread back in. Larger females can even attract baby skinks by hanging fly remains in their web.1

Its bites are not known to be dangerous to humans. It bites people only in self-defence, when it is grabbed and squeezed.1

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

It runs to a secure hiding place when it senses movement, and if cornered it plays dead as a last resort.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

vredno vedeti

Dejstva

The assassin bug Stenolemus lanipes apparently feeds only on its young, though it can also eat adults.1

When food dries out, it usually drops it to the floor to free up space in its web, rather than rebuilding the web.1

It has poor eyesight and cannot detect movement more than three to four inches away.1

Males and females often share the same web for long periods, though females sometimes fight when they meet.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: Common house spiders are dangerous to people.
