Northern tree-dwelling funnel-web spider
The northern tree-dwelling funnel-web spider is a large spider from eastern Australia. It lives mostly in trees, from South East Queensland to the Hunter River in New South Wales. Its venom can be deadly to people, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela
- Has a glossy black carapace (the hard upper shell of the body).1
- Chelicerae (fang-bearing parts), legs and abdomen are matte black or dark brown.1
- The top of the abdomen may have a plum or purplish tinge.1
- Body length is 40-50 mm, the largest of the funnel-web subfamily Atracinae.1
- Cannot jump.1
Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: The ground-dwelling Darling Downs funnel-web spider (Hadronyche infensa) is very similar. Male northern tree-dwelling funnel-web spiders have a knobby spur on the tibia (a leg segment) of the second pair of legs, which male Darling Downs funnel-web spiders lack. Trapdoor spiders are browner overall.1
Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba
Ityhefu iphuma ngamazinyo aso etyhefu okanye ngamazinyo aso xa siluma.
Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?
The venom is potentially deadly to humans and is regarded as the most toxic of the venoms in the family Atracidae. Symptoms can start within 15 to 20 minutes. Common symptoms include sweating, high blood pressure, a fast heart rate, muscle spasms, nausea, vomiting, changes in consciousness and pain at the bite site. Fluid in the lungs (pulmonary oedema) is frequent and comes on early.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: SiyabulalaEsinye sezona zilwanyana ziyingozi emhlabeni.The venom is potentially deadly. Of eight recorded bites, five caused severe symptoms of envenomation. Because the spider is larger than the Sydney funnel-web, it may inject more venom, which could make it possibly the deadliest venomous spider in the world per volume of venom.1
Iindaba ezimnandi: oogqirha banamayeza (i-antivenom) okanye unyango lwale nto.1
Senza ntoni xa soyika?
When threatened, it rears up, displays its fangs, and drops of venom appear on the fang tips.1
Ukuba siyaluma
- Pressure bandages and immobilising the patient can significantly delay the onset of symptoms. This remains a critical part of managing a bite from an Australian funnel-web spider.1
- Hlamba indawo elunyiweyo uze uyipholise. Fumana uncedo lwezonyango ukuba iintlungu zinamandla okanye umntu uziva engaphilanga kakuhle.
- EOstreliya, nakuphi na ukulunywa sisigcawu esikhulu esimnyama kuphathe njengokulunywa yi-funnel-web: Ukubopha ngoxinzelelo nokunqanda ukushukuma (pressure immobilisation): songa ibhandeji eqinileyo enwebekayo phezu kwendawo elunyiweyo uze unyuke ngelungu lonke, uliqinise ngesiplinti, kwaye ugcine umntu engashukumi kwaphela de kufike uncedo.
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

It has been recorded living in trees 30 m above the ground.1
It is one of only two Australian funnel-web species that live mostly in trees. The other is the southern tree-dwelling funnel-web.1
It cannot jump.1
