Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KuthambileNjengokuhlatywa yinyosi okanye ngaphantsi. Phantse asinangozi ebantwini.
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
The spiders communicate by tapping their front legs on the sand. This seismic signalling is called drumming.1
Males may be attacked and killed by females if their drumming signal is too much like that of prey.1
Males can travel more than 50 metres in one night while searching for a mate.1
Each spider has eight eyes arranged to give a full panoramic view of its surroundings, which is unusual for spiders at night.1
Burrows can be up to 40 cm long and 25 cm deep, and their shape keeps them cooler than the surface.1
Females live about 6 months, while males live only 1 to 2 months.1

Inyaniso: It is often confused with the wheel spider, but they are different species, even though they live in the same place.1
