Kako jo prepoznaš

  • Females have red markings on both the top and underside of the abdomen, which no other African Latrodectus species has.1
  • Males have white markings on the underside of the abdomen, which darken with age.1
  • Egg sacs are large and smooth, bright purple when freshly laid, fading to shiny grey as they dry.1
  • Webs are not usually found outside the tree hollow. When present, they are typical hackle webs spreading out from the hollow.1

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: Other African button spiders do not have the red markings on both the top and underside of the female abdomen, which is the main feature that sets this species apart.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

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
