怎麼認出牠

Females have a bright green cephalothorax (front body section) and long green legs, with a lighter green abdomen that has a darker green stripe down the middle.1
Females are about 12 to 16 millimetres long, not counting the legs.1
Males are dark green-olive with a narrower abdomen, red sides and a red to red-brown middle stripe with yellow edges. They are about 7 to 10 millimetres long.1

牠害怕時會做什麼？

如果牠咬人

清洗咬傷處，用冰敷袋冰敷止痛。如果很痛、疼痛擴散或傷者覺得不舒服，要就醫。

一定要先打緊急電話（112、000、911）。這是一般急救指引，不是醫療建議。急救基本知識

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
