Indlela yokusibona

Black and white geometric pattern on the top of the abdomen1

Body colour ranges from tan and dark brown to black, with shades of grey also possible1
Stripes on the legs1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: The black widow is slightly larger and darker, and has a red hourglass on the underside. The brown widow is lighter, has an orange or yellow hourglass, and has a black and white pattern on top of the abdomen that the black widow does not have. In southern Africa, the brown widow's relative L. rhodesiensis, native to Zimbabwe, is also called a brown button spider.1

Amandla obuthi

Ukuluma

Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

Like all widow spiders, the brown widow has a neurotoxic venom, which attacks the nerves. It causes latrodectism, a set of very unpleasant symptoms. The effects are usually confined to the bite area and the tissue around it.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.

Brown widow bites are usually not very dangerous, and are much less dangerous than black widow bites. The spider cannot deliver as much venom as a black widow, so its bites are considered minor. They are painful.1

Uma siluma

Geza inxeba lokulunywa bese ubeka iphakethe leqhwa phezu kwalo ngenxa yobuhlungu. Thola usizo lwezokwelapha uma ubuhlungu bunamandla, busabalala noma umuntu ezizwa engaphilile.

Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala

Hlala uphephile

Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Uma sikuluma: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso

In Southern California, researchers suggest the brown widow may be pushing black widows out of the area by competing and fighting for territory.1

Its egg sacs are so spiky that they are easy to tell apart from those of most other spiders.1

A female can make up to 20 egg sacs over her lifetime, with 120 to 150 eggs in each.1

Brown widows are preyed upon by wasps, including blue mud-dauber wasps and digger wasps.1

Umqothuli wezinganekwane

Inganekwane: The brown widow is as dangerous as the black widow.

Iqiniso: Brown widow bites are usually not very dangerous and are much less dangerous than black widow bites.1
