它吃什么？

They are vagrant hunters that seek out and inject venom into their prey rather than catching it in a web. Their favourite prey is other spiders, especially the black house spider and the brown house spider.1

怎样认出它

Slender, cigar-shaped body that is dark reddish to grey.1
Dark orange-brown legs with bands.1
Grey abdomen with two pairs of faint white spots.1
Usually, but not always, a distinct white spot at the tip of the abdomen, just above the spinnerets.1
Body length up to 18 mm, with a leg span of about 28 mm.1

常被误认为： Two common species, Lampona cylindrata and Lampona murina, look very similar and are not easily told apart without a microscope. The name 'white-tail' is also applied to several other spider species that have a white mark at the end of the abdomen.1

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？

Their venom is used to subdue prey. In people, a bite usually causes a small red or discoloured bump, with pain, local swelling and itchiness. Rarely, it causes nausea, vomiting, malaise (a general feeling of being unwell) or headache. These symptoms are generally mild and resolve over time.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼，但几乎从不严重。

Bites are reported in people, but studies found the effects are usually local and mild. A study of 130 confirmed bites found no necrotic ulcers (tissue death) and no confirmed infections. No deaths are mentioned.1

如果它咬人

清洗咬伤处，用冰袋冷敷止痛。如果疼得厉害、疼痛扩散或感到不适，就去看医生。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。急救基础

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

The necrotic ulcers once blamed on these spiders were not confirmed. A scientific study found other causes, mostly infections.1

White-tailed spiders do not build webs. They hunt actively, often at night.1

The white tail marking remains into adulthood, while other markings fade with each moult.1

Many people think there is only one white-tailed spider species, but the two common species look so alike that more species may still be unidentified.1

Both common species have been introduced to New Zealand, where Lampona cylindrata has spread across the South Island since 1980.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言： White-tailed spider bites cause flesh-eating ulcers (necrosis).

真相： A study of 130 confirmed bites found no necrotic ulcers or confirmed infections. Symptoms are usually mild, with a red mark, pain, swelling and itchiness.1
