Brazilian whiteknee tarantula
The Brazilian whiteknee tarantula is a large spider from Brazil, known for the bright white bands on its legs. It is often kept as a pet because it is hardy and striking to look at. Its size means that even though its venom is not medically significant, a bite can still damage tissue.1

毒液力量
咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。
牠的毒液有什麼作用?
The venom is not considered medically significant. Because this tarantula is large, its bite can still cause tissue damage. It bites mainly when provoked, and it defends itself first with urticating hairs, which are fine hairs that irritate human skin.1
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。Its venom is not considered medically significant, but its large size means a bite can cause tissue damage. Its urticating hairs can also be quite irritating to human skin.1
牠害怕時會做什麼?
It is usually somewhat defensive and flicks urticating hairs at threats. Biting is typically not its first line of defence.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
