White widow
QaniinThe white widow is a spider that is light-coloured, from beige to white, unlike most of its dark relatives. It lives in dry steppes and deserts across North Africa, the Middle East and central Asia. Its bite is venomous and can be medically significant, so it is worth knowing what it looks like.1

Sida loo aqoonsado
- Light-coloured, with a colouring ranging from beige to white1
- Darker legs than the body1
- No bright red markings, unlike other widow spiders such as the black widow or redback spider1
- Otherwise similar in shape to other spiders of the genus Latrodectus1
Inta badan lagu khaldaa: Most widow spiders are dark, and the white widow is distinguished mainly by its pale colouring and lack of red markings. Other than colour, it resembles other Latrodectus spiders.1

Maxay samaysaa suntiisa (qaniin ama mudid)?
Its venom is neurotoxic in type, meaning it acts on the nerves, as is typical of Latrodectus species. Toxicology studies report that its venom is similar in structure to that of the Mediterranean black widow, L. tredecimguttatus. It is considered less toxic than the bites of L. mactans or L. hasselti.1

Khatarta dadka: Xanuun badanAad buu u xanuunjin karaa, laakiin ku dhowaad weligiis khatar weyn ma aha.The bite is medically significant and can injure humans. It can kill children and people who are infirm, although it is not nearly as toxic as the bites of some other widow spiders. A poster by the Egyptian Society of Natural Toxins describes its venom as moderately venomous.1

Badbaado
- Weligaa ha taaban, ha qaban, hana ku ciyaarin xayawaan duurjoog ah, xitaa mid yar, xitaa haddii uu u muuqdo inuu hurdo ama dhintay.
- Meel u bannee. Haddii aad mid la kulanto, deg, tartiib dib ugu noqo oo u daa inuu jidkiisa maro.
- Haddii mid ku qaniino: deg, ha dhaqaaqin, wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911) ama si degdeg ah u tag isbitaalka. Xusuuso sida uu u egyahay, sawir ayaa caawiya.
Kuma raadinayo. Suntiisa wuxuu u isticmaalaa inuu cunto ku qabsado ama isku difaaco, wuxuuna aad u door bidaa inuu dhuunto. Wax badan oo ku saabsan badbaadada

Xaqiiqooyin
Males are sometimes cannibalised by the female after mating.1
After maturity, male widow spiders do not feed and spend most of their lives searching for females, which is why they are smaller than females.1
Widow spider males generally live with a female for a long period and provide energy-demanding courtship displays.1
The white widow is comparatively rare compared to other widow spiders in its region.1
