Costa Rican zebra tarantula
The Costa Rican zebra tarantula is a large spider that lives in western Costa Rica and nearby parts of Central America. It digs deep burrows in dry scrubland, where it shelters from heat by day and cold by night. People mainly need to know about it because it has irritating hairs that it can throw.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 main risk to people is its urticating hairs, which irritate human skin. It is rare for it to throw these hairs.1

It can throw urticating hairs at a threat, but it is rare for it to do so, and it is very skittish.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
