Skeleton tarantula
The skeleton tarantula is a large, hairy spider from South America. It lives mostly on the forest floor in the lowland forests of northern Brazil, French Guiana and Suriname. It is known for its skeleton-like leg markings and for being fast and ready to defend itself.1

怎麼認出牠
- Black legs with yellowish, skeleton-like striping1
- Small, brown abdomen1
- Coffee-coloured or golden carapace (the hard shell covering the front of the body)1
- Leg span of about 11 to 12 cm, though females can reach 15 cm1
常被誤認為: Aphonopelma seemani has leg striping similar to this spider's. The skeleton tarantula's striping is more yellowish.1
毒液力量
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 threatened, it brushes urticating hairs off its palps (the small leg-like organs near the mouth) by rubbing them against its chelicerae (jaw parts). It will also rise up and show its fangs.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
Its urticating hairs grow on its palps, not on its abdomen as they do in most New World tarantulas.1
It is a fast and aggressive species that will readily rise up and present its fangs to a predator.1
It builds a heavily webbed burrow under the topsoil, or among branches, rocks and other forest floor debris.1
Most members of its subfamily live in trees, but this species lives mainly on or near the forest floor.1
