The tube web spider is a dark spider that builds a tube-shaped web in cracks in walls and buildings. It began in the Mediterranean region but has spread to many towns in southern Britain and other parts of the world. Its bite is reported to be very painful, so it is worth knowing what it looks like.1

Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.
Ubuthi baso benzani?
The venom contains two neurotoxins, which attack the nerves, and one insecticide. The venom reduces the rate and amount of sodium inactivation, a process in nerve cells. The bite is reported to feel like a deep injection, and the pain can last for several hours.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.The bite is reported to be extremely painful, but it is also said to feel like a bee sting, which places it at 2 on the Schmidt sting pain index. The bite has no lasting effects.1
Senzani uma sesabile?
When disturbed while feeding, it retreats further into its tube.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
Sikhulu kangakanani?
Side kangakanani?
side cishe njengesibophi sephepha
singahamba amamitha ali-100 ngemizuzwana engu-360 (umuntu oshesha kunabo bonke udinga engu-9,6)Tube web spider mkhulu kangakanani uma uqhathanisa NAWE?
Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.
Sishesha kangakanani?
Amaqiniso
A population in Westminster Abbey has been proposed as a new subspecies, because its fangs are a brighter green and its members are significantly smaller than other European populations.1
Specimens have been found in Exeter Cathedral as far back as 1890.1
Females lay eggs in the bricks of south-facing structures during winter, so a female seen in September or October may already have laid eggs for the next spring.1
It is the largest European segestriid spider.1
In Britain it was probably introduced via seaports, with records going back at least to 1845.1

Iqiniso ngalinye kuleli khasi linenombolo ekhomba umthombo walo. Uma senze iphutha, uxolo, singabathandi bezilwane, hhayi iphephabhuku lesayensi. Sitshele ku-[email protected] futhi sizolilungisa.
