White-tailed spider
The white-tailed spider is a slim, long-legged spider that lives in southern and eastern Australia. It gets its name from the whitish tip at the end of its abdomen. It hunts other spiders at night rather than spinning a web, and it can bite people.1

Paano ito makikilala
- Slender spider with a dark reddish to grey, cigar-shaped body1
- Dark orange-brown legs with bands1
- Grey abdomen with two pairs of faint white spots1
- Usually a distinct white spot at the tip of the abdomen, just above the spinnerets (the silk-producing organs)1
- Does not build a web1
Madalas mapagkamalang: Lampona murina is very similar to Lampona cylindrata. The two are not easily told apart without microscopic examination. Several other spider species also have a white mark at the end of the abdomen and are called white-tails.1
Lakas ng kamandag
Lumalabas ang kamandag sa pangil o ngipin nito kapag nangangagat ito.
Ano ang epekto ng kamandag nito?
The bite injects venom. Typical effects are a small red or discoloured bump that burns or itches, along with local pain and swelling. Rarely, the bite causes nausea, vomiting, malaise (a general feeling of being unwell) or headache. These symptoms are generally mild and go away over time.1
Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: MasakitTalagang masakit, pero halos hindi kailanman malala.Bites are generally mild. In a study of 130 confirmed white-tailed spider bites, there were no necrotic ulcers (areas of dead tissue) and no confirmed infections. The effects were mainly local, such as pain, a red mark, swelling and itching.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
Ulcers and tissue death were once blamed on white-tailed spider bites, but studies found other causes, mostly infections.1
In reported bite cases, more than 60% of people said the spider had got into their clothing, towels or bed.1
The two common species look so alike that people once thought there was only one kind of white-tailed spider.1
The white tail marking stays into adulthood, while other markings fade with each moult.1
Lampona murina has lived on New Zealand's North Island for over a hundred years.1
Myth buster
Mito: White-tailed spider bites cause ulcers and necrosis (dead tissue).
Totoo: A study of 130 bites found no necrotic ulcers or confirmed infections. Ulcers blamed on these spiders were shown to have other causes, mostly infections.1
