Chinese black earth tiger tarantula
The Chinese black earth tiger tarantula is a large, dark spider that lives in burrows on the island of Hainan, off southern China. It is one of several spiders from China and Vietnam known as the Chinese bird spider. Scientists study its venom because it is considered highly venomous.1

怎麼認出牠
- Dark black-brown body1
- Abdomen (rear body) is dark brown with six black stripes running across it and a black stripe down the centre of the upper surface1
- Carapace (upper front body) is black-brown, and the underside of the front body is red-brown1
- Females are about 60 mm long (body plus chelicerae, the fang-bearing mouthparts), with longer legs than males1
- Males are smaller, about 34 mm long, but have legs of a similar length to the female's1
常被誤認為: It resembles Cyriopagopus schmidti. The Chinese black earth tiger tarantula can be told apart by its dark black-brown body and by the longer thorns on the forward-facing side of the maxillae (the mouthparts that hold the fangs).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?
Its venom is a complex neurotoxin, meaning it attacks the nervous system. It contains many compounds that block neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that carry signals between nerves, including neurotoxic peptides called hainantoxins. The effects of its bite on humans are not well documented.1
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 嚴重被咬了需要看醫生。死亡案例非常罕見。The effects of its bite on people are not well documented. In laboratory tests, its venom is often lethal to mice and rats in small doses, so it is generally regarded as a highly venomous species.1
牠害怕時會做什麼?
It stays hidden in its silk-lined burrow during the day, and its silk alarm lines radiate from the burrow mouth.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

小知識
Although the effects of its bite on humans are poorly recorded, its venom is often lethal to laboratory mice and rats in small doses.1
Its venom contains neurotoxic peptides called hainantoxins, which block the chemical signals that nerves use to communicate.1
It lives on very steep, south-facing mountain slopes, at angles of 75 to 85 degrees.1
Despite the male being much smaller than the female, his legs are nearly as long as hers.1
