Sitya ntoni?
It feeds on insects, scorpions and other spiders. In 2020 one was recorded preying on a gecko about 28 mm long, feeding on the fluids of the lizard's digested body.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

  • Body length of 12 to 20 mm1
  • Active at night, with nocturnal habits1
  • Shelters under rocks on sandy ground1
  • Very common in urban areas with household waste1

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: Older records under the name Sicarius terrosus may actually describe other species, such as Sicarius levii. Names in older books can therefore be unreliable.1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuluma

Ityhefu iphuma ngamazinyo aso etyhefu okanye ngamazinyo aso xa siluma.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its venom contains an enzyme called sphingomyelinase D, which has effects similar to those of the Chilean recluse spider. In laboratory tests the venom broke down red blood cells (haemolysis) and damaged skin cells, and 50 μg was enough to cause dermonecrosis, or the death of skin tissue. The venom also broke down fibrinogen, a protein needed for blood to clot.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

Laboratory work shows that the venom can damage human tissue. Adult spiders carry up to eight times the amount of venom tested, so bites from adults could cause more serious lesions.1

Ukuba siyaluma

  • Hlamba indawo elunyiweyo uze ubeke ipakethi yomkhenkce kuyo ngenxa yeentlungu. Fumana uncedo lwezonyango ukuba iintlungu zinamandla, ziyasasazeka okanye umntu uziva engaphilanga kakuhle.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

  • Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
  • Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Ukuba siyakuluma: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

1

In 2020 a 20 mm spider was recorded preying on a 28 mm gecko, which is larger than the spider itself.1

2

Its venom breaks down fibrinogen, a clotting protein, faster than the venom of the Loxosceles species it was compared with.1

3

Scientists found that 50 μg of its venom was enough to cause dermonecrosis in laboratory tests.1

4

It is extremely common in Chilean cities where household waste is plentiful.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: The species is known as Sicarius terrosus.

Inyaniso: The correct name is Sicarius thomisoides. The name terrosus was used for this species for a long time, but it was often used wrongly for other species too.1
