無害對人無害。不用擔心。

咬

The Antilles pinktoe tarantula is a large, tree-dwelling spider found in the Lesser Antilles, including the island of Martinique in the Caribbean Sea. It spends most of its time in funnel webs that it spins. Its colours change as it grows, so the young and adults look very different.1

怎麼認出牠

Spiderlings are bright blue with a black tree trunk pattern on the abdomen.1
As it grows, it loses the blue colour. The carapace (top of the body) turns green and the abdomen turns red.1
Adults have green legs with pink tarsi (the feet at the end of the legs) and a covering of purple hairs.1
Males are usually slightly more brightly coloured than females.1
Males do not grow as large as females, and their abdomens are smaller, even in proportion to their size.1

毒液力量

咬

牠對人有多危險？

對人的危險: 輕微跟蜜蜂螫差不多或更輕微。對人基本上無害。

如果牠咬人

清洗咬傷處並冷敷。如果很痛或傷者覺得不舒服，要就醫。

一定要先打緊急電話（112、000、911）。這是一般急救指引，不是醫療建議。急救基本知識

注意安全

絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物，就算是很小的動物，就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
給牠空間。如果遇到了，保持冷靜，慢慢往後退，讓牠自己離開。
如果被牠咬了：保持冷靜，保持不動，打緊急電話（112、000、911）或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子，有照片會很有幫助。

牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己，而且牠更想躲起來。更多安全知識

值得知道

小知識

Spiderlings are bright blue, and their colours change gradually as they grow into adults.1

This spider was first described in 1837 by Charles Athanase Walckenaer, who used a female said to be from Guadeloupe and a male from Brazil. The two actually belong to different species.1

Males are smaller than females and have smaller abdomens, even when size is taken into account.1
