Social huntsman spider

Delena cancerides
名字的由來： The names "communal" and "social" refer to its habit of living in groups, and "flat" refers to its flattened body shape.1
無害對人無害。不用擔心。
蜘蛛 咬吃：肉
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。

The social huntsman spider is a large, brown spider that lives in Australia, including Tasmania. Unlike most spiders, it lives in groups and shares its food with its colony. Films have shown it as deadly, but in real life it is generally considered harmless to people.1

怎麼認出牠

  • Light brown body covered in dense, fine hairs1
  • Hairy legs that can span over 15 cm1
  • Flat body shape1
  • Males have a body length of 20–25 mm and females of 25–32 mm, so females are larger1
  • Lives in groups under loose bark1

毒液力量

咬

咬的時候，毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用？

Bites are infrequent. When they do occur, symptoms are usually very minor.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。

It is generally considered harmless to humans. It is timid towards people and bites are infrequent. Films that show it as having a deadly venomous bite are not accurate. Its aggression is directed mainly at members of other colonies.1

牠害怕時會做什麼？

It is timid towards humans.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

1

It is highly unusual among spiders because it is a social species that shares prey with its colony.1

2

Colonies can contain up to 300 spiders, but members of different colonies are often aggressive and cannibalistic towards each other.1

3

There is a sculpture in the Avondale shopping centre that celebrates the spider.1

4

It was first described by Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1837, and it was used in the films Napoleon and Arachnophobia.1

5

It was introduced to New Zealand in 1924, and its range there spread slowly out of Avondale, a suburb of Auckland.1

破解迷思

迷思： The social huntsman spider has a deadly venomous bite, as shown in films.

真相： It is generally considered harmless to humans. Bites are infrequent, and when they occur, symptoms are usually very minor.1
