Spinybacked orbweaver
咬The spinybacked orbweaver is a small spider with six spiky projections on its rounded abdomen, which look a little like a crab's shell. It lives across North, Central and South America and the Caribbean, and has been introduced to Hawaii. It is a member of the orb-weaver family, which builds round webs.1

怎麼認出牠
- Females are 5–9 mm long, with a black carapace (top of the body), black legs and a black underside with white spots.1
- The upper side of the abdomen is white or yellow with black spots.1
- Females have six spine-like projections on the abdomen.1
- On a white abdomen the spines can be red or black; on a yellow abdomen they are always black.1
- Males are much smaller, at 2–3 mm long, with a grey abdomen with white spots and four or five stubby spines.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。
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
Members of the genus Gasteracantha have an unusual 19-hour circadian rhythm, so their wake-sleep cycle is neither nocturnal nor diurnal.1
Males die six days after they have transferred sperm to the female.1
The spiders often live on the edges of large colonies of Metepeira incrassata, which can contain from a few hundred to a few thousand spiders.1
