Chinese black earth tiger tarantula
The Chinese black earth tiger tarantula is a large, dark spider that lives in burrows on the island of Hainan, off southern China. It is one of several spiders from China and Vietnam known as the Chinese bird spider. Scientists study its venom because it is considered highly venomous.1

怎样认出它
- Dark black-brown body1
- Abdomen (rear body) is dark brown with six black stripes running across it and a black stripe down the centre of the upper surface1
- Carapace (upper front body) is black-brown, and the underside of the front body is red-brown1
- Females are about 60 mm long (body plus chelicerae, the fang-bearing mouthparts), with longer legs than males1
- Males are smaller, about 34 mm long, but have legs of a similar length to the female's1
常被误认为: It resembles Cyriopagopus schmidti. The Chinese black earth tiger tarantula can be told apart by its dark black-brown body and by the longer thorns on the forward-facing side of the maxillae (the mouthparts that hold the fangs).1
毒液之力
它咬的时候,毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。
它的毒液会造成什么?
Its venom is a complex neurotoxin, meaning it attacks the nervous system. It contains many compounds that block neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that carry signals between nerves, including neurotoxic peptides called hainantoxins. The effects of its bite on humans are not well documented.1
它对人有多危险?
对人的危险: 严重被咬了要去看医生。死亡非常罕见。The effects of its bite on people are not well documented. In laboratory tests, its venom is often lethal to mice and rats in small doses, so it is generally regarded as a highly venomous species.1
它害怕时会做什么?
It stays hidden in its silk-lined burrow during the day, and its silk alarm lines radiate from the burrow mouth.1
注意安全
- 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
- 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
- 如果被它咬了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。
它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

事实
Although the effects of its bite on humans are poorly recorded, its venom is often lethal to laboratory mice and rats in small doses.1
Its venom contains neurotoxic peptides called hainantoxins, which block the chemical signals that nerves use to communicate.1
It lives on very steep, south-facing mountain slopes, at angles of 75 to 85 degrees.1
Despite the male being much smaller than the female, his legs are nearly as long as hers.1
