The daddy long-legs spider is a small spider with very long, thin legs. It lives indoors in quiet, dim corners of homes, cellars and garages, and it is found in most temperate countries on every continent. It is valued because it hunts other spiders, including the dangerous redback spider.1

Kaj je?

It eats insects, other spiders and small invertebrates. Unlike many spiders that wait for prey to blunder into their webs, it often leaves its web to hunt spiders and their eggs. When prey is scarce, both males and females will eat each other.1

Kako jo prepoznaš

Small body, about 6 to 10 mm long in males and 7 to 8 mm on average in females, not counting the legs.1
Eight very long, thin legs covered in fine grey bristles. The legs are about 5 to 6 times the length of the body.1
Translucent grey or pale brown body, with a dark spot on the back of the front body part and dark, blurred spots on the top of the rear body part.1
Eight eyes: a pair of small dark eyes at the front, followed by three rows of pairs of larger eyes.1
Loose, horizontal webs with many irregularities, often tangled with the webs of other spiders.1

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: It is often called 'daddy long-legs', a name also used for crane flies and harvestmen. Crane flies are insects, and harvestmen belong to a different group of arachnids (the order Opiliones), so they are not spiders.1

Moč strupa

Ugrizi

Strup pride ven skozi strupnike ali zobe, ko ugrizne.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

Its venom is used to subdue prey, and it can bite. According to researchers, its venom has negligible effects on humans and other mammals. A bite causes a mild stinging sensation with no long-term health effects.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: BlagaKot čebelji pik ali manj. Za ljudi praktično neškodljiva.

It is considered harmless to humans. Bites are hardly ever reported, and a bite causes only mild stinging.1

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

When it senses danger, it swings its body round in a circle repeatedly while its legs stay fixed on the web, a movement called whirling.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.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

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

It hunts redback spiders, which are among the most venomous spiders in the world.1

It fakes the vibrations of a trapped insect in its web, then waits on its long legs until the prey touches one of them before attacking.1

Its whirling defence can last several hours or even days when it is threatened by jumping spiders.1

Its silk has been reported to have potential medicinal uses.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: Daddy long-legs spiders cannot bite humans because their fangs cannot get through human skin.

Resnica: Their fangs are about 0.25 mm long, and human skin is about 0.1 mm thick, so they can bite. Bites are very rarely reported, and they cause only mild stinging.1
