The goldenrod crab spider is a small, flat spider that hides on flowers and waits for insects to land nearby. It lives in Europe and North America. It is named for the way it walks, and it can change its colour to match the flower it sits on.1

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: Mecaphesa asperata is similar in size and shape, but it is light grey to brown with pink stripes on its abdomen and cephalothorax. Diaea crab spiders can be lime green, and some Xysticus and Coriarchne species are brown.1

Moč strupa

Ugrizi

Strup pride ven skozi strupnike ali zobe, ko ugrizne.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

Its venom is paralysing, which means it stops prey from moving. The spider injects digestive enzymes with its fangs to break down the insides of its prey. The venom is too weak to harm larger animals.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

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

This spider is harmless to humans. Its fangs are not strong enough to pierce human skin, and its venom is too weak to harm larger animals.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

Females can change colour from yellow to white, or back again, to match the flower they sit on. This process can take up to 25 days.1

The spider can catch prey much larger than itself, because its paralysing venom works so well.1

Unlike many spiders, it does not wrap its prey in silk. It relies entirely on venom to hold its meals still.1

Females leave silk trails called draglines behind them as they move, and males follow these trails rather than pheromones.1

Females wait on flowers and do not travel far, while males roam over great distances to look for mates.1

Females live longer than males, on average.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: Because it is a venomous spider with a name like Whitedeath, it is dangerous to people.

Resnica: The goldenrod crab spider is harmless to humans. Its fangs cannot pierce human skin, and its venom is too weak to harm larger animals.1
