Eastern mouse spider
The eastern mouse spider is a spider from the family Actinopodidae. It lives only on the eastern coast of Australia. People often mistake it for the Australian funnel-web spider, which is more dangerous, so knowing the difference matters.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- Females are large and very strong, with powerful jaws called chelicerae.1
- Females have a shiny black carapace (the hard upper shell of the body) and an abdomen (rear body) coloured brown to almost black.1
- Males have an all-black carapace and a trapezium-shaped (four-sided, with two parallel sides) lighter patch on top of the abdomen, which can be white, pale blue or mauve.1
- Their fangs often cross over slightly.1
- The burrow entrance is hidden by a flap of silk, which can be found by brushing away loose soil.1
Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: It is often mistaken for the Australian funnel-web spider. Funnel-web fangs stay parallel, while mouse spider fangs often cross over slightly. Funnel-webs often have a drop of venom on their fang tips and have longer spinnerets (silk-producing organs at the rear of the abdomen).1
Nguvu ya sumu
Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
Common symptoms of a bite are numbness and tingling at the bite site, sweating, headache and nausea. Its venom contains toxins similar to robustoxin, the toxin found in Australian funnel-web spider venom. Severe reactions are rare.1
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: MbayaKuumwa kunahitaji daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.Although it appears to be the most dangerous member of its genus, serious envenomations by this species are relatively rare. Most documented bites did not need antivenom or cause serious symptoms. Only one severe case is recorded: a 19-month-old child who developed high blood pressure, muscle spasms, an arched back and unconsciousness.1
Habari njema: madaktari wana dawa (ya kuzuia sumu) au matibabu ya hili.1
Hufanya nini akiogopa?
Compared with the Australian funnel-web spider, it is far less aggressive towards humans and often gives dry bites, which deliver no venom.1
Akiuma
- The child with the severe case responded well to funnel-web spider antivenom. Australian funnel-web spider antivenom has been found to be effective in treating severe mouse spider bites.1
- Osha jeraha na ulipoze. Tafuta msaada wa kitabibu kama maumivu ni makali au mtu anajisikia vibaya.
- Australia, chukulia kuumwa na buibui yeyote mkubwa mweusi kama kuumwa na buibui wa utando wa faneli: Kubana na kutotikisa: funga bandeji nyororo kwa nguvu juu ya jeraha kisha mguu au mkono mzima, weka banzi, na umweke mtu bila kutikisika kabisa hadi msaada ufike.
Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza
Kaa salama
- Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
- Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
- Akikuuma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli
Its venom contains toxins similar to robustoxin, which is found in Australian funnel-web spider venom.1
Australian funnel-web spider antivenom has been found to work against severe mouse spider bites.1
Males roam in autumn and early winter, which is when envenomation cases have peaked.1
Rainbow described the specimen as a beautiful and strikingly marked novelty.1
Kuvunja dhana potofu
