European purseweb spider
The European purseweb spider is a small, hidden spider that lives in the ground. It is found in mainland Europe, Great Britain and North Africa, and it is the only mygalomorph spider found in the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom. It is special because it builds a silk tube partly under the ground and catches insects that walk onto it.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- Black or brownish in colour1
- Not particularly large: males are 7–9 mm and females are 10–15 mm long1
- Builds a silk tube that is partly underground, with the part above ground covered in leaves and other debris1
- Usually stays inside its web and does not leave except to mate1
- Young spiderlings are often very lightly coloured1
Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: It looks much like Atypus piceus. Spiderlings of the European purseweb spider are often very lightly coloured, and its three-part posterior spinnerets do not have a light blot, which helps tell them apart.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: HafifuKama kudungwa na nyuki au chini ya hapo. Kimsingi hana madhara kwa watu.
Akiuma
- Osha jeraha na ulipoze. Tafuta msaada wa kitabibu kama maumivu ni makali au mtu anajisikia vibaya.
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

Ana kasi gani?
Ukweli
Its fangs point straight down rather than crossing, as in other mygalomorph spiders.1
Autumn is its mating season. The male enters the female's burrow, where they live together until the male dies soon after mating.1
It is a mygalomorph spider, and it is the only mygalomorph spider found in the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom.1
It becomes sexually mature at about 4 years old.1
Kuvunja dhana potofu
Dhana potofu: The European purseweb spider lives in Ireland.
Ukweli: It was once listed for Ireland, based on a single silk tube found in 1896. This is now thought to be most likely from a plant nursery import, and the species is no longer recognised as living on the island.1
