只是會痛會痛,但不會對你造成嚴重傷害。
對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

The Trinidad chevron tarantula is a large hairy spider that lives only on the island of Trinidad. It spends much of its life in tree bark and crevices, and it is also a popular pet in many countries because it is easy to breed in captivity.1

It is arboreal, meaning it lives above ground. It lives in crevices, holes and nooks behind bark, and lines its retreat with sheet-like, tube-shaped webbing. It is also kept as an exotic pet in tall, vertical enclosures.1

牠吃什麼?
It is an opportunistic feeder that eats whatever prey it can subdue. It hunts mainly by ambush, waiting at night and sensing prey through vibrations. In the wild it may eat arthropods and small vertebrates that cross its path.1

怎麼認出牠

  • Females have dark, chevron-shaped (V-shaped) markings on the abdomen.1
  • Females are green, tan or brown, with orange markings on the legs.1
  • Males are a more uniform grey or brown, with long legs in proportion to their body.1
  • Males keep orange markings on the latter part of their legs.1
  • Spiderlings are mostly dark, with pale orange bands on the legs that look like leg warmers. These bands fade as the spider grows.1

常被誤認為: The female's orange leg markings are similar to those of P. irminia, another species in the same genus.1

牠對人有多危險?

對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

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。

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
