Illawarra funnel-web spider
The Illawarra funnel-web spider is a brown, burrowing spider from south-eastern Australia. It is the only species in its genus, and it is found only in the Illawarra region of southern New South Wales. Its venom is similar to that of a funnel-web species known to cause dangerous effects in people, although it is not one of the species listed as dangerous.1
怎麼認出牠
- Adults are basically brown.1
- The abdomen has an obvious pattern of narrow chevrons (V-shaped stripes).1
- Mature males have a body length of about 15 millimetres, and females are of a similar size and appearance.1
- Both sexes are said to have an "ant-like" smell.1
常被誤認為: Males can be told apart from other atracid spiders by a broad row of spines on the underside of the feet of all four pairs of legs. Females can be told apart by their first pair of legs, which have no spines, have the metatarsus partly fused to the tarsus, and have enlarged claws.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?
A 2001 study of the peptides (small protein chains) in atracine spider venom found that the venom of this spider has a similar profile to that of Atrax robustus. Atrax robustus is a species known to have caused dangerous effects in humans.1
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 非常危險如果沒有治療,牠可能會害死一個人。This spider is not one of the six atracine species listed as dangerous. Its venom profile, however, is similar to that of a species that has caused serious harm to people.1
如果牠咬人
- 清洗咬傷處並冷敷。如果很痛或傷者覺得不舒服,要就醫。
- 在澳洲,任何大型黑色蜘蛛的咬傷都要當成漏斗網蜘蛛咬傷處理:加壓固定法:用彈性繃帶緊緊包住咬傷處,再往上包住整條手臂或腿,用夾板固定,並讓傷者完全不動,直到救援抵達。
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
