Skeleton tarantula
The skeleton tarantula is a large, hairy spider from South America. It lives mostly on the forest floor in the lowland forests of northern Brazil, French Guiana and Suriname. It is known for its skeleton-like leg markings and for being fast and ready to defend itself.1

怎样认出它
- Black legs with yellowish, skeleton-like striping1
- Small, brown abdomen1
- Coffee-coloured or golden carapace (the hard shell covering the front of the body)1
- Leg span of about 11 to 12 cm, though females can reach 15 cm1
常被误认为: Aphonopelma seemani has leg striping similar to this spider's. The skeleton tarantula's striping is more yellowish.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。它害怕时会做什么?
When threatened, it brushes urticating hairs off its palps (the small leg-like organs near the mouth) by rubbing them against its chelicerae (jaw parts). It will also rise up and show its fangs.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
Its urticating hairs grow on its palps, not on its abdomen as they do in most New World tarantulas.1
It is a fast and aggressive species that will readily rise up and present its fangs to a predator.1
It builds a heavily webbed burrow under the topsoil, or among branches, rocks and other forest floor debris.1
Most members of its subfamily live in trees, but this species lives mainly on or near the forest floor.1
