The dancing white lady spider is a huntsman spider that lives in the sand dunes of the Namib Desert in Namibia. It hides in burrows during the hot day and comes out at night, when it can tap on the sand to send messages to other spiders.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

Dejstva

The spiders communicate by tapping their front legs on the sand. This seismic signalling is called drumming.1

Males may be attacked and killed by females if their drumming signal is too much like that of prey.1

Males can travel more than 50 metres in one night while searching for a mate.1

Each spider has eight eyes arranged to give a full panoramic view of its surroundings, which is unusual for spiders at night.1

Burrows can be up to 40 cm long and 25 cm deep, and their shape keeps them cooler than the surface.1

Females live about 6 months, while males live only 1 to 2 months.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: It is the same spider as the wheel spider

Resnica: It is often confused with the wheel spider, but they are different species, even though they live in the same place.1
