Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KuncaneNjengokuhlatshwa yinyosi noma ngaphansi. Cishe akunangozi ebantwini.
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

Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.

Amaqiniso
The spiders communicate by tapping their front legs on the sand. This seismic signalling is called drumming.1
Males may be attacked and killed by females if their drumming signal is too much like that of prey.1
Males can travel more than 50 metres in one night while searching for a mate.1
Each spider has eight eyes arranged to give a full panoramic view of its surroundings, which is unusual for spiders at night.1
Burrows can be up to 40 cm long and 25 cm deep, and their shape keeps them cooler than the surface.1
Females live about 6 months, while males live only 1 to 2 months.1
Umqothuli wezinganekwane
Inganekwane: It is the same spider as the wheel spider
Iqiniso: It is often confused with the wheel spider, but they are different species, even though they live in the same place.1
