Red-headed mouse spider
The red-headed mouse spider is a burrowing spider found across mainland Australia. It lives in open forest and desert shrubland, and the male has a bright red head. It is a venomous spider that people meet in the wild, so it helps to know what it looks like.1

怎样认出它
- Females are about 35 mm long, stout and short-legged, and mostly dark brown to black. Their jaws are sometimes red-tinged.1
- Males are about 15 mm long, with longer, thinner legs. The head and jaws are bright red.1
- The male's abdomen (rear body) is gunmetal blue to black.1
常被误认为: It is often confused with M. insignis. Experts cannot reliably tell the two apart from the original description of the species.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?
The venom may be very toxic. Most recorded bites caused only minor effects.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。Few cases of serious envenomation have been recorded, so serious harm is uncommon. However, the venom may be very toxic.1
好消息:医生有药(抗毒血清)或治疗方法。1
如果它咬人
- Australian funnel-web spider antivenom has proved effective as a treatment for bites from this spider.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。
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
Its spiderlings can travel by wind, a method called ballooning. Mygalomorph spiders normally disperse by walking, so this is unusual for them.1
The spider digs a burrow up to 55 cm deep, with two trapdoors.1
Males have a bright red head and jaws, which sets them apart from the darker females.1
It is the most widely distributed Missulena species, found throughout mainland Australia.1
