The common rain spider is a large huntsman spider that lives across southern Africa. It often comes indoors, especially before rain, and it hunts geckos. Its size and striking leg markings make it look frightening, but its bite is not dangerous to people.1

Xibaar

A wasp larva eats its paralysed spider host slowly, eating the outer flesh first and saving the vital organs until last, so the spider stays fresh.1

Pompilid wasps hunt these spiders, sting them to paralyse them, and drag them back to their nests.1

Females build an egg sac in about 3 to 5 hours.1

Tasukatu léeb

Xalaat bu juum: A guinea pig died within 7 minutes after a rain spider bit it in a 1959 experiment, so the spider's venom must be deadly.

Dëgg: Further research on anaesthetised guinea pigs showed the original animal died of shock, not from the venom. In humans, the bite is no more dangerous than a bee sting.1
