White-tail spiders


Hello Reader,


The spider of today is another with some mystification. The white-tailed spider. A confusion that is made with this spider it is that the venom can make the location of bite necrose, however this is not scientific proof and all the attempts to see this fenom point that don’t happen. The spider who is proof to do this lives in Brazil, normali know as brown spider.



Male L. cylindrata
Female L. cylindrata
L. murina





The venom injects on the bite of the white-tailed spider don’t spread on the body, stay in a range of the bite, causing a local swelling, pain and itchiness. In rare cases cause nausea, vomiting, malaise or headache. You probably will not have a doubt that this spider bite you, once the bite hurts like a bee sting and give an immediate burning sensation. But don’t worry, a good pack of ice can help with the pain, not more than that is required, but the red marck can stay during 5-12 days.



This spider is not aggressive, just wen treaden. In the case could be by accidental since this spider likes to hide in the middle of the folds of clothes, towels and shoes. It don’t create a web, hunting other spiders, she vague around during the night after her pray. She can even help hunting the Redback spider and black house spider that make part of her diet.



The white mark in the adults can be less visible then in the young, who have a easy observable white spot.
