Varieties of spiders easily adapt to the peculiarities of the climate of the regions. But there are those who prefer to exist in the comfortable conditions of the Crimea.
The warm conditions of the Crimean peninsula allow many species of spiders to comfortably exist. They are active almost all year round, because the winter is very warm, and there are no long frosts.
Having close access to the sea also makes the conditions more comfortable. Spiders have enough insects, especially during the breeding and laying periods, in autumn and spring.
Spiders of the Crimea
There are 4 types of dangerous spiders in Crimea, but only one is especially poisonous and carries a mortal danger. However, meetings with spiders are not so frequent, because they prefer to live away from people.
The black-colored spider with a glossy finish is often found in pastures, fields and often occupy rodent burrows. They pose a danger to small animals, insects and even their relatives. Females are aggressive towards members of their own species; after mating, males often become victims.
Representatives of wolf spiders are found everywhere. There are tarantulas in the Crimea. They live in burrows and only come out at night to hunt. But they do not harm a person for no reason, they prefer to hide in a shelter. The tarantula eats insects in large numbers. They show amazing care for their offspring.
Phalanges or solpugs like to live in the southern regions. Their activity can be observed at night, their favorite places are the steppes. Spiders are rare, they are listed in the Red Book. For people, they are dangerous, bite painfully, but do not inject poison. It is interesting that people observed the love of the phalanx for romance - they love to sit around the fire.
Argiope Brünnich, also known as the wasp spider, is often found in different territories. This representative looks original - the yellow, white and black stripes are original and look asymmetrical. They are observed almost everywhere between grass and trees. The unusual, complex design of spiders immediately attracts attention.
In the Crimea, there are several types of crusader spiders. They hang in their web, which they spread like a net between the branches. Females live in the middle, where they live and wait for prey or males. Some species bite humans and can cause allergies. Usually, only the use of anti-inflammatory drugs is sufficient.
This species is often confused with the dangerous black widow. But the steatoda is not so dangerous for people, due to its calm and unpretentious nature. But the spider has a brave character - it can even encroach on a black widow.
Most often, meetings with spiders in the Crimea occur in spring and summer, when they get out in search of mating partners. They live in nature, but sometimes wander in search of food in people's homes. If the spider has bitten:
Wash the bite site.
Apply ice.
Drink an antihistamine.
If the spider is already sneaking up on clothes, it is best to gently brush it off. When collecting outdoors, it is necessary to wear closed shoes and clothes.
