Fringed ornamental tarantula
The fringed ornamental tarantula is a large spider that lives high in trees. It is found only in Sri Lanka, and its bright, patterned body makes it one of the most striking tarantulas. Its bite is considered medically significant, so it is worth knowing about.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- The top of the body (carapace) is greenish yellow or purplish.1
- Females have yellow undersides, and the thighs of the third and fourth pairs of legs are black with a large blue-grey spot.1
- Males are greenish brown, and their markings are less prominent.1
- Females can reach a legspan of about 25 cm.1
Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: It is easily told apart from other tiger spiders by its greenish yellow or purplish top side.1
Nguvu ya sumu
Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
The venom may cause intense pain and extreme muscle cramping. This is judged from the experiences of keepers who have been bitten by this species, rather than from recorded cases of human harm.1
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: MbayaKuumwa kunahitaji daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.No death from a tarantula bite has ever been recorded. This species is still considered to have a medically significant bite because of the pain and cramping its venom may cause.1
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

Ukweli
It may live in a mutually beneficial relationship with frogs such as Ramanella nagaoi, sharing tree holes that can contain eggs or juveniles from the spider, the frog, or both.1
In a related observation, a frog (Chiasmocleis ventrimaculata) and a different tarantula (Xenesthis immanis) were seen together, with the spider protecting the frog from predators and the frog guarding the spider's eggs from ants.1
When tree holes are scarce, several of these spiders may live together in the same tree.1
Its legspan is probably the second largest in its genus, behind Poecilotheria rufilata.1
