The Moroccan flic-flac spider is a medium-sized huntsman spider that lives in the sand dunes of the Erg Chebbi desert in Morocco. When threatened, it escapes by doing forward or backward flips, like a gymnast's cartwheel. It is the only spider known to move this way.1

怎麼認出牠

Medium-sized huntsman spider, with males 13.8 to 19.0 mm long and females 19 to 19.5 mm long1
White body with black scopulae (hair pads) on the underside of its legs1
Yellow colouring on the upper part of the abdomen and on the femora (the thigh segments of the legs)1
Active at night, and escapes by flipping forward or backward1

常被誤認為： It was first confused with the Tunisian spider Cebrennus villosus. Scientists later found small differences in the genitalia of the two species, and the flic-flac movement is distinctive to the Moroccan spider.1

毒液力量

咬

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: 輕微跟蜜蜂螫差不多或更輕微。對人基本上無害。

牠害怕時會做什麼？

When provoked or threatened, it flips forward or backward and can double its normal walking speed to escape.1

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

小知識

It is the only spider known to use this unusual rolling, flic-flac style of movement.1

It actively flips itself off the ground, so it can move both uphill and downhill, even on a 40 percent incline. Another huntsman spider from the Namib Desert moves by passive cartwheeling instead.1

Its movement inspired a biomimetic robot called Tabbot, about 25 cm long. The name comes from the Berber word 'tabacha', meaning spider.1

It builds long vertical tubes of sand and silk, using its feelers (pedipalps) and bristles.1
