Brazilian red and white tarantula
The Brazilian red and white tarantula is a large spider with striking white-striped legs and reddish hairs on its abdomen. It is native to Brazil, where it lives in tropical forests and savannahs. It is popular with tarantula keepers because of its beautiful colours.1

怎麼認出牠
- White-striped legs1
- Beige to grey front body (prosoma)1
- Reddish hairs on the rear body (opisthosoma)1
- Large, with a diagonal leg span of about 15–17 cm1
- After its final moult, the male is duller in colour and has longer legs, along with mating hooks on its pedipalps and tibia1
常被誤認為: It was once treated as Vitalius cristatus, but that identification was based on misidentifications. It was first described by Günter Schmidt in 2004, and its genus has since changed between Vitalius and Nhandu.1
毒液力量
咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。
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。It is reputed to be quite defensive, using its urticating hairs, which are hairs that irritate the skin. Its large size and skittish nature mean it should only be handled by an experienced person.1
牠害怕時會做什麼?
It is reputed to be quite defensive and uses its urticating hairs when threatened.1
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
