The Goliath birdeater is a huge tarantula and the largest spider in the world by mass and body length. It lives in the rainforests of northern South America, including the Amazon. Although it can look frightening, its venom is mild and it rarely bites people.1

Kaj je?

It eats other large arthropods, worms and amphibians, and will also kill insects and small land vertebrates. It drags prey back to its burrow, where it liquefies the insides and sucks them dry. It has been seen feeding on rodents, frogs, toads, lizards and even snakes.1

Moč strupa

Ugrizi

Strup pride ven skozi strupnike ali zobe, ko ugrizne.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

Like all tarantulas, it has fangs and venom, but its venom is relatively harmless. Its effects are comparable to those of a wasp sting. Some bites are 'dry bites', meaning no venom is injected.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: BolečeLahko zelo boli, a skoraj nikoli ni resno.

Tarantulas generally bite people only in self-defence. Its venom is comparable to a wasp sting. Its urticating hairs, which it releases when threatened, are a severe irritant to skin and mucous membranes.1

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

When threatened, it rubs its setae together to make a hissing sound, and rubs its abdomen with its hind legs to release irritating hairs.1

Če ugrizne

Ugriz umij in ohladi. Poišči zdravniško pomoč, če je bolečina močna 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

It is the largest spider in the world by mass and body length, and is second only to the giant huntsman spider by leg span.1

Its fangs measure 2 to 4 cm, large enough to break human skin.1

It is an edible spider. In northeastern South America, the hairs are singed off, and the spider is roasted in banana leaves.1

Its flavour has been described as 'shrimp-like'.1

Its body length is far greater than that of Mongolarachne, the largest known prehistoric spider, which measured 2.46 cm.1

Females rarely eat males during mating, unlike some other spider species.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: The Goliath birdeater eats lots of birds.

Resnica: Despite its name, it rarely preys on birds. Its diet is mostly other large arthropods, worms and amphibians.1
