Hobo spider
The hobo spider is a brown spider that lives in fields, woods and under rocks in Europe, Central Asia and western North America. It builds a funnel-shaped sheet of silk and waits at the narrow end for insects to crawl on. It sometimes builds webs in or around homes, so people often worry about its bite.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela
- Body length is 7 to 14 mm, and the spider is brownish in colour.1
- The abdomen has V-shaped chevron patterns down the middle, pointing towards the head.1
- There is a light stripe running down the middle of the underside (sternum).1
- There are no coloured bands where the leg joints meet.1
- The top of the front body section (cephalothorax) has indistinct or diffused patterns, not two distinct dark stripes.1
Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: Other Eratigena species have three or four pairs of light spots on the sides of the sternum rather than a central stripe, though these spots can be very faint. Spiders in the genera Agelenopsis and Hololena, and possibly some wolf spiders, have two distinct dark stripes on the top of the front body section. Positive identification of hobo spiders usually requires microscopic examination of their sex organs by an expert.1
Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba
Ityhefu iphuma ngamazinyo aso etyhefu okanye ngamazinyo aso xa siluma.
Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?
There is no clear evidence that the hobo spider has venom that is dangerous to humans. Earlier case reports linked its bites to isolated cases of necrosis, which is the death of skin tissue, but this is no longer supported.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KuthambileNjengokuhlatywa yinyosi okanye ngaphantsi. Phantse asinangozi ebantwini.There is little evidence that the hobo spider is dangerously venomous. The US CDC no longer lists it among venomous species, as of 2017. In Canada there is no evidence that its bites cause skin necrosis.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
Umqhekezi weentsomi
Intsomi: Hobo spiders have dangerous venom that causes skin necrosis.
Inyaniso: There is little clear evidence that the hobo spider's venom is dangerous to humans. Some bites reported as hobo spider bites may have been from the desert grass spider.1
