Hobo spider
The hobo spider is a brown spider that lives in fields, woods and under rocks in Europe, Central Asia and western North America. It builds a funnel-shaped sheet of silk and waits at the narrow end for insects to crawl on. It sometimes builds webs in or around homes, so people often worry about its bite.1

Kako jo prepoznaš
- Body length is 7 to 14 mm, and the spider is brownish in colour.1
- The abdomen has V-shaped chevron patterns down the middle, pointing towards the head.1
- There is a light stripe running down the middle of the underside (sternum).1
- There are no coloured bands where the leg joints meet.1
- The top of the front body section (cephalothorax) has indistinct or diffused patterns, not two distinct dark stripes.1
Pogosto zamenjujejo z: Other Eratigena species have three or four pairs of light spots on the sides of the sternum rather than a central stripe, though these spots can be very faint. Spiders in the genera Agelenopsis and Hololena, and possibly some wolf spiders, have two distinct dark stripes on the top of the front body section. Positive identification of hobo spiders usually requires microscopic examination of their sex organs by an expert.1
Moč strupa

There is no clear evidence that the hobo spider has venom that is dangerous to humans. Earlier case reports linked its bites to isolated cases of necrosis, which is the death of skin tissue, but this is no longer supported.1
Kako nevarna je za ljudi?
Nevarnost za ljudi: BlagaKot čebelji pik ali manj. Za ljudi praktično neškodljiva.There is little evidence that the hobo spider is dangerously venomous. The US CDC no longer lists it among venomous species, as of 2017. In Canada there is no evidence that its bites cause skin necrosis.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

Dejstva
Razbijalec mitov
Mit: Hobo spiders have dangerous venom that causes skin necrosis.
Resnica: There is little clear evidence that the hobo spider's venom is dangerous to humans. Some bites reported as hobo spider bites may have been from the desert grass spider.1
