The eastern mouse spider is a spider from the family Actinopodidae. It lives only on the eastern coast of Australia. People often mistake it for the Australian funnel-web spider, which is more dangerous, so knowing the difference matters.1

怎样认出它

Females are large and very strong, with powerful jaws called chelicerae.1
Females have a shiny black carapace (the hard upper shell of the body) and an abdomen (rear body) coloured brown to almost black.1
Males have an all-black carapace and a trapezium-shaped (four-sided, with two parallel sides) lighter patch on top of the abdomen, which can be white, pale blue or mauve.1
Their fangs often cross over slightly.1
The burrow entrance is hidden by a flap of silk, which can be found by brushing away loose soil.1

常被误认为： It is often mistaken for the Australian funnel-web spider. Funnel-web fangs stay parallel, while mouse spider fangs often cross over slightly. Funnel-webs often have a drop of venom on their fang tips and have longer spinnerets (silk-producing organs at the rear of the abdomen).1

毒液之力

咬伤

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？

Common symptoms of a bite are numbness and tingling at the bite site, sweating, headache and nausea. Its venom contains toxins similar to robustoxin, the toxin found in Australian funnel-web spider venom. Severe reactions are rare.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。

Although it appears to be the most dangerous member of its genus, serious envenomations by this species are relatively rare. Most documented bites did not need antivenom or cause serious symptoms. Only one severe case is recorded: a 19-month-old child who developed high blood pressure, muscle spasms, an arched back and unconsciousness.1

好消息：医生有药（抗毒血清）或治疗方法。1

它害怕时会做什么？

Compared with the Australian funnel-web spider, it is far less aggressive towards humans and often gives dry bites, which deliver no venom.1

如果它咬人

The child with the severe case responded well to funnel-web spider antivenom. Australian funnel-web spider antivenom has been found to be effective in treating severe mouse spider bites.1
清洗咬伤处并冷敷。如果疼得厉害或感到不适，就去看医生。
在澳大利亚，任何大型黑蜘蛛咬伤都要当作漏斗网蜘蛛咬伤处理：加压固定法：用有弹性的绷带紧紧缠住咬伤处，再缠满整条肢体，用夹板固定，让人完全不动，直到救援到来。
