European purseweb spider
The European purseweb spider is a small, hidden spider that lives in the ground. It is found in mainland Europe, Great Britain and North Africa, and it is the only mygalomorph spider found in the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom. It is special because it builds a silk tube partly under the ground and catches insects that walk onto it.1

怎样认出它
- Black or brownish in colour1
- Not particularly large: males are 7–9 mm and females are 10–15 mm long1
- Builds a silk tube that is partly underground, with the part above ground covered in leaves and other debris1
- Usually stays inside its web and does not leave except to mate1
- Young spiderlings are often very lightly coloured1
常被误认为: It looks much like Atypus piceus. Spiderlings of the European purseweb spider are often very lightly coloured, and its three-part posterior spinnerets do not have a light blot, which helps tell them apart.1
毒液之力
它咬的时候,毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。
它对人有多危险?
对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。
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
Its fangs point straight down rather than crossing, as in other mygalomorph spiders.1
Autumn is its mating season. The male enters the female's burrow, where they live together until the male dies soon after mating.1
It is a mygalomorph spider, and it is the only mygalomorph spider found in the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom.1
It becomes sexually mature at about 4 years old.1
谣言粉碎机
谣言: The European purseweb spider lives in Ireland.
真相: It was once listed for Ireland, based on a single silk tube found in 1896. This is now thought to be most likely from a plant nursery import, and the species is no longer recognised as living on the island.1
