He also contacted the bad form of measles that adults can get. He was told the spider was somehow responsible. My brother got it on the hand by a black widow.
Giant red swelling of the hand and quite hot and painful. Recovered in a week or so. These damn hornets here in Oregon will chase your sorry ass down no matter how fast you run. I saw my wife and sister disturb an in-ground nest. It was like a cartoon.
They went sceaming and running by me with a string of hornets after them. Funny thing was, they just ignored me and kept after them. They got nailed by many of them.
My bite s and subsequent hospitalization from a young rattler tho got first prize from mom. It did not hurt till the fourth day. After that it felt like a freshly broken bone. Killer Wasp About seven years ago my wife and I were camping at Geckos and one of these landed in our camp.
It was wild looking and big. About three inches long. It looked like a cross between a wasp, praying mantis and who knows what else. I remember describing it to Doc but can't remember what he said it was. Never seen one since. It was one serious looking bug.
Tarantulas and Wasps Thank you all so much for all this good info re these critters. El Chorro to be exact. So, one day I am leveling off some ground and out walks a Tarantula.. Was I ever surprized So I caught him or her and put him in a large see through container with sand and a rock to hide under I caught it as well and put him or her in the same container The next morning one dead spider had to be removed.. I still have one left.
I know is not the original spider because he has a different sleeping pattern, and I swear a different personality Wonder of all wonders!!! There are also tons of Tarantula wasps around and they do not seem to be agressive but will be sure now to stay on their good side!! Shari, I was wondering if the wasp you speak of is kinda rusty in color with some yellow stripes??? Lotsa those around too. I was just over at Cabo Pulmo for a few days swimming with the fishes and I saw loads of them.
Thanks tons for the info I will be more careful in future. Whoah, how creepy this thread has become! Yep we have some of those helicopter type noisy tarantula wasps called matavibora here but that is NOT what bit Lupita. This flying critter was reddish and small and skinny without stripes and the doctor said the reaction was normal for this very venomous insect, not an allergic reaction. An interesting point about tarantulas is that we often see them a day or two before it rains Shari, If you saw a picture of the offending insect would you recognize it?
I've never known mud daubers or paper wasps to be agressive. I'm really curious what it was. Got this picture of a Matavenado in San Nicolas We had lots of them. Check out the little white tip on the end of the antenna that is in front of his fangs. That substance was very sticky, and he could support his entire weight, briefly, by the grip of one antenna. That's how he draws his prey into the fangs. Although of four men who have lived in the village, up to 71 years, who spoke with me about Matavenado, none had ever been stung.
They had no direct knowledge of a sting except that Benjamin said that there was a tremendous fever involved, and that if you couldn't get to the yerbas that Chico has for the purpose, you needed to go to a clinic. Ben also said that few humans were bitten because the spider has to get his fangs around a portion of body then he injects his supposed "venom".
We don't offer very many places where he can get a bite! Senior Nomad. Frankly I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked of such a thing. Ultra Nomad.
The conscientious historian will correct these defects. No se apure y dure. Not logged in [ Login - Register ]. Back to:. Printable Version. Can anybody give more info on this? It's a Drink that would pretty much kill anything! The largest one I ever saw was about 4" long. We usually see them come out in the warmer weather.
They can run like the wind. In Mexico they are called Matavenados - deer killer, deer slayer. They have what appears to be 10 leggs, huge jaws and are very ugly , hopefully the picture will attach.
My mom found a 2" one in her sleeping bag in the San Pedro Martir, so they can aslo take cold weather too. From the web: Camel spiders so named because, like camels, they can be found in sandy desert regions grow to be moderately large about a 5" leg span , they can move very quickly in comparison to other arthropods a top speed of maybe 10 MPH ; and they capture prey without the use of either venom or anesthetic.
Camel spiders rely on speed, stealth, and the non-venomous bite of powerful jaws to feed on small prey such as other arthropods e. They use only three pairs of legs in running; the frontmost pair called pedipalpa is held aloft and used in a similar manner to the antennae of insects.
Camel spiders shun the sun and generally hide during the day, coming out at night to do their hunting. Repost of Baja Taco's image below. Despite the name and appearance, camel spiders are actually solifugids which, unlike spiders, do not have venom or silk glands.
They prey on spiders, scorpions, insects, small vertebrates and other solifugids. Usually nocturnal, they sometimes come out in the day but will seek out shadows, even if the shadow is cast by a human. If the person moves, the solifugid follows the shadow, which gives the impression it is giving pursuit. I guess my lighthearted joke was considered in poor taste and deleted? While in Todos a couple of months ago, the young couple who ran the fruit stand had a young dog mts.
He appeared very healthy and one day was no longer there.
