What is the Brazilian wandering spider?

Brazilian wandering spider is a family of spider, which is known to be one of the most poisonous animals in the world. As the name suggests, this spider is originally from Central and South America, specifically in tropical areas. His genus name is Phoneutria , a Greek word that means "murder". Scientists have seen eight different kinds of this wandering spider, the most poisonous are Phoneutria nigrivententer , which is the second word, which means "black belly". Brazilian wandering spider is also known as "armed spider" or "Aranhas-Armadeiras" in Portuguese. Its average size would be 5 inches (around 12.7 cm), with its legs occupying most of its length. His long legs allow the spider a quick speed, with small hair through the spider you feel around. One of his distinctive physical features is his prominent fangs, which are covered with red bristles. Like many spiders, the wandering spider also has eight eyes, two of which are larger.

Brazilian wandering spider is called such a pilgrim. At night, it would usually crawl all over the forest in search of prey, such as insects, lizards and even mice. It can be said that this spider is nomad because it does not do and does not live on the websites, instead of actively wandering; That is why tropical forests such as Amazon, usually do not have spider cobwebs from tree to tree. Brazilian wandering spiders are likely to wander so much that they were seen in the banana volumes supplied to the US and were nicknamed the "banana spiders". During the day, these spiders usually disappear in dark places such as hollow protocols, Termithies, and even inside the shoes, clothes and pile of firewood.

Venom produced by the Brazilian wandering spider is so toxic that only as a small amount, 0.00000021 oz. (around 0.006 mg), it is needed to kill an average size. Bite of spider, except tOho, that he is toxic, is also considered very painful, because of the large fangs traveling spider. Venom can cause paralysis and difficulty breathing, which can eventually lead to death. The spider bites can be particularly dangerous to men because they can cause priapism, a health condition in which the penis experiences a painful and prolonged erection that can lead to impotence.
