怎麼認出牠

Shiny black carapace (the hard shield covering the front of the body)1
Black to dark brown legs and chelicerae (the fang-bearing mouthparts)1
Male has a pale patch on the top of the abdomen1
Female has a maroon-brown abdomen1
Male carapace is slightly longer than wide; female carapace is roughly square1

常被誤認為： It is closely related to the Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax robustus), and its colouring is similar to most other Australian funnel-web spiders.1

毒液力量

咬

咬的時候，毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用？

Its venom contains versutoxin, a neurotoxin (a poison that attacks the nerves) that is very similar to robustoxin from the Sydney funnel-web spider. It causes an autonomic storm, a disruption of the body's automatic systems. Symptoms can start within 15 to 20 minutes and include sweating, local pain at the bite site, fluid in the lungs (pulmonary oedema), high blood pressure, nausea and vomiting.1

牠對人有多危險？

對人的危險: 非常危險如果沒有治療，牠可能會害死一個人。

One in nine recorded bites by this spider has caused severe symptoms. Females are thought to be more venomous than males, possibly because they inject more venom.1

好消息：醫生有藥（抗毒血清）或治療方法。1

如果牠咬人

Apply a pressure bandage in the same way as for a snake bite. This can significantly delay the onset of symptoms and is a critical part of treatment. The bite can be treated with antivenom made for the Sydney funnel-web spider.1
清洗咬傷處並冷敷。如果很痛或傷者覺得不舒服，要就醫。
在澳洲，任何大型黑色蜘蛛的咬傷都要當成漏斗網蜘蛛咬傷處理：加壓固定法：用彈性繃帶緊緊包住咬傷處，再往上包住整條手臂或腿，用夾板固定，並讓傷者完全不動，直到救援抵達。
