The southern house spider is a large spider that lives in the Americas, from the southern United States to Argentina. It is often mistaken for the brown recluse, but it is not aggressive and rarely bites. Its males wander around looking for mates, and both sexes can squeeze through very narrow cracks.1

Ano ang kinakain nito?

Paano ito makikilala

  • Females are dark brown or black and more compact in shape, with often larger, bulbous bodies.1
  • Males have longer legs and unusually long, slender pedipalps (the leg-like feelers near the mouth).1
  • Males lack the violin-shaped marking on the front part of the body that the brown recluse has.1
  • The abdomen (rear part of the body) is covered in fine, velvety light grey hair.1
  • Both sexes may grow to about 5.1 cm across with legs extended.1

Madalas mapagkamalang: Males are often mistaken for the brown recluse because they have similar colours and body structure. Male southern house spiders are usually larger, have no violin shape on the front of the body, and have long, slender pedipalps.1

Lakas ng kamandag

Mga kagat

Lumalabas ang kamandag sa pangil o ngipin nito kapag nangangagat ito.

Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?

Panganib sa tao: BanayadParang kagat ng bubuyog o mas mahina. Halos hindi nakapipinsala sa tao.

Males may seem aggressive, but they bite only when trapped. Their mouthparts are too small to easily get through human skin, so bites are unlikely to be harmful.1

Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?

When it feels threatened, it instinctively plays dead, a tactic that works well against its common predators.1

Kung kumagat ito

  • Hugasan ang kagat at lagyan ng ice pack para sa sakit. Kumuha ng tulong medikal kung matindi ang sakit, kumakalat, o masama ang pakiramdam ng tao.

Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas

Mag-ingat

  • Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
  • Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
  • Kung kagatin ka ng isa: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.

Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact

1

It is a cribellate spider, meaning its silk is not sticky. Its web works by tangling silk into a velcro-like net.1

2

It can crawl through cracks as narrow as 0.66 cm, thanks to its long body and compact legs.1

3

It is almost blind, so it may crawl over anything in its path, living or not, without meaning to attack.1

4

Its mating ritual can last over an hour, with long pauses where neither spider moves much.1

5

Its family, Filistatidae, is known as the crevice weavers because the females build webs around cracks.1

Myth buster

Mito: Southern house spiders are aggressive and bite people often.

Totoo: Males may look aggressive, but they bite only when trapped, and their mouthparts are too small to easily penetrate human skin. Their crawling over things is not aggression, as they cannot see larger animals.1
