Many people have heard many different frightening stories in which the main character is a yellow-black spider. One person will talk about how he met him in nature and chose to leave his territory right away. Another will certainly declare that he saved the world from another poisonous creature. And the third, the most risky one, will lead such a pet in his own house. All of these people have one thing in common - they deal with spiders. It should be examined whether they are dangerous, or all the stories that poison is deadly to humans are mere fabrications? What kind of life do these arthropods lead and what kind of insects are they in general?
The very name "yellow-black spider" itself is not scientific or correct. In nature, there are several different species that have such a coloring. We will consider the most popular ones: a tarantula and an argiope, which is also called a zebra spider. To begin with, you should pay attention to the most important thing - these representatives are not poisonous. This is an exception only for those people who have an increased allergic reaction to poison. Their bite can be fatal. In all other cases, you can get off with a small tumor that subsides after a few days or a maximum of two-week fever.
So, the first yellow-black spider is a tarantula. Please note that such an “aspen” color is the rarest among arthropods. The same can be said about pets that are kept at home. Most often, black or brown shades are found. In addition to tarantulas, it can be said that they seldom make cobwebs. As a rule, these arthropods arrange nests for themselves. During this process, they will use their webs in order to secure the walls. Moreover, when a spider eats in its nest, it carries the remains of the victim out of the territory of his house, rolling it into spider webs for convenience.
The next yellow-black spider is argiope. He is a lover of warm, hot and dry areas. Some call it a “global warming indicator,” since its habitat has expanded quite a bit recently. Unlike a tarantula, an argiope weaves a web in order to get potential food into it. However, the zebra hunts universally. If during the day no one gets on the net, then the spider will calmly go on a regular hunt with the onset of darkness. As for the web itself, it is a weaving of a rather complex structure. Moreover, the argiope does not at all try to hide it, a person will always notice the network.
It is worth returning and familiarizing yourself with animal poison in more detail. Any striped yellow-black spider has enough poisonous glands, which they constantly use to render the victim harmless, to make it edible. Typically, the poison acts so that all the insides of the prey turn into a homogeneous liquid mass, which the insects subsequently suck out.
Recently, a black spider with yellow stripes has been very interested in lovers of exotic animals. Despite the fact that they have already become residents of apartments for quite some time, you should not have such pets if you are not at all familiar with the conditions of their maintenance. Moreover, you may be the one who suffers from an increased allergic reaction to the bite.
