China Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Manitowoc school closed after spiders bite student, teacher Classes were canceled at one Manitowoc school Friday after a student and teacher were bitten by spiders. Superintendent James Feil says classes at Wilson Middle School were dismissed early on Thursday after the student was bitten. Feil says the student brushed the spider off, but the bite area did become itchy and swollen. The teacher who was bitten needed medical treatment. "We immediately recognized that we had to address that," said Feil. Exterminators were called in and have killed more than 30 yellow sac spiders, as of Friday morning. Feil says most of the spiders were concentrated in an area near the library. They were also found in some classrooms. He says, as of Friday, only two bites have been reported.

China Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 'Pretty full on': Father hears squeals of terror as daughter stumbles across highly venomous spider An ecologist and nature photographer has urged parents to be "vigilant" after a highly venomous funnel-web spider found its way inside his hallway, where his two young children were playing. Lachlan Copeland, who lives in bushland near Coffs Harbour on the NSW Mid North Coast, was in the kitchen on New Year's Day when he heard his four-year-old daughter Lucy squeal in terror. The 49-year-old instantly knew something was wrong and rushed to check on her and his three-year-old son Blake. "It was a pretty full-on spider," he said, adding it was a male who was likely looking for a female to mate with. "It was pretty chilled out though. "It wasn't aggressive and didn't get into a threatening posture. Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Super-sized trapdoor spider discovered in Australia Researchers in Australia have made a big discovery: a super-sized species of trapdoor spider found only in Central Queensland. The arachnid has been dubbed Euoplos dignitas, a name "derived from the Latin dignitas meaning dignity or greatness, reflecting the impressive size and nature of the spider,” scientists with the Queensland Museum said in a statement. The spider lives in open woodland habitats and builds its burrows in the black soils of the Brigalow Belt in Central Queensland, which is on the northeastern coast of Australia. The species has lost much of its habitat to land clearing, which likely makes it an endangered species, the scientists said. While the Australian team did not detail how big their find is, Trapdoor spiders typically have bodies up to 1.5 inches long that nest underground, according to National Geographic. They are hairy tropical spiders, and their bites can cause pain and swelling in humans. Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Supermarket is closed over fears male shoppers could suffer permanent erections: Spider whose bite can cause bizarre reaction in men sparks evacuation An Austrian supermarket was evacuated after the store manager reportedly spotted a banana-loving spider capable of causing permanent erections in men. The Penny shop in Krems an der Donau, 45 miles west of Vienna, remains closed since Tuesday over fears of the four-inch black and red spider. Emergency services were called and warn the spider, still at large, may have been a highly venomous Brazilian Wandering Spider, known to reach Europe by hiding in bunches of bananas. The creature is one of the planet's most venomous spiders, and bites can be fatal after causing hypothermia, blurred vision, convulsions and, in some cases, erections. The spider's venom is even being studied for use in erectile dysfunction treatments after it was found that a bite from one of the spiders can give male victims a painful four-hour erection. An exterminator has been called and the banana crates in the store have been sealed, but reports say the shop will likely remain closed until next week.
