Chaco widow
咬The Chaco widow is a small black spider with red markings on its belly. It lives in parts of South America and Panama, including farmland, and it can also be found indoors. It belongs to the widow spider group, which is known for venom.1

怎麼認出牠
- About 12 mm (1.2 cm) long, and mainly black.1
- Large red markings on the upper side of the abdomen, shown by both males and females.1
- A red, square-like ring under the abdomen.1
- The egg-sac is made of fragile silk with pompom-like tufts.1
常被誤認為: Both males and females may have a square marking under the abdomen with a black circle in the centre. Not having this black circle does not help tell the species apart.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: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。It is not aggressive, like most species of Latrodectus. It is most active from December to March, which is summer in the Southern Hemisphere.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
