Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its venom is paralysing, which means it stops prey from moving. The spider injects digestive enzymes with its fangs to break down the insides of its prey. The venom is too weak to harm larger animals.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: HafifuKama kudungwa na nyuki au chini ya hapo. Kimsingi hana madhara kwa watu.

This spider is harmless to humans. Its fangs are not strong enough to pierce human skin, and its venom is too weak to harm larger animals.1

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

Females can change colour from yellow to white, or back again, to match the flower they sit on. This process can take up to 25 days.1

The spider can catch prey much larger than itself, because its paralysing venom works so well.1

Unlike many spiders, it does not wrap its prey in silk. It relies entirely on venom to hold its meals still.1

Females leave silk trails called draglines behind them as they move, and males follow these trails rather than pheromones.1

Females wait on flowers and do not travel far, while males roam over great distances to look for mates.1

Females live longer than males, on average.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: Because it is a venomous spider with a name like Whitedeath, it is dangerous to people.

Ukweli: The goldenrod crab spider is harmless to humans. Its fangs cannot pierce human skin, and its venom is too weak to harm larger animals.1
