The white-tailed spider is a slim, long-legged spider that lives in southern and eastern Australia. It gets its name from the whitish tip at the end of its abdomen. It hunts other spiders at night rather than spinning a web, and it can bite people.1

在陆地上, 粗略估计

它吃什么？

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

怎样认出它

Slender spider with a dark reddish to grey, cigar-shaped body1
Dark orange-brown legs with bands1
Grey abdomen with two pairs of faint white spots1
Usually a distinct white spot at the tip of the abdomen, just above the spinnerets (the silk-producing organs)1
Does not build a web1

常被误认为： Lampona murina is very similar to Lampona cylindrata. The two are not easily told apart without microscopic examination. Several other spider species also have a white mark at the end of the abdomen and are called white-tails.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？

The bite injects venom. Typical effects are a small red or discoloured bump that burns or itches, along with local pain and swelling. Rarely, the bite causes nausea, vomiting, malaise (a general feeling of being unwell) or headache. These symptoms are generally mild and go away 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 generally mild. In a study of 130 confirmed white-tailed spider bites, there were no necrotic ulcers (areas of dead tissue) and no confirmed infections. The effects were mainly local, such as pain, a red mark, swelling and itching.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

Ulcers and tissue death were once blamed on white-tailed spider bites, but studies found other causes, mostly infections.1

In reported bite cases, more than 60% of people said the spider had got into their clothing, towels or bed.1

The two common species look so alike that people once thought there was only one kind of white-tailed spider.1

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

Lampona murina has lived on New Zealand's North Island for over a hundred years.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言： White-tailed spider bites cause ulcers and necrosis (dead tissue).

真相： A study of 130 bites found no necrotic ulcers or confirmed infections. Ulcers blamed on these spiders were shown to have other causes, mostly infections.1
