Resolviendo la incógnita 🌐<p>La tarántula devoradora de aves (Selenocosmia crassipes) puede desarrollar patas de hasta 22 centímetros de longitud. Es conocida por el zumbido que produce al estridular las setas de sus quelíceros. Aunque no es letal en humanos, produce vómitos e inflamación muy dolorosa. 📷Pratik Jain <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ara%C3%B1a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>araña</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spiders</span></a></p>

Resolviendo la incógnita 🌐<p>La araña Atrax christenseni crea telarañas en forma de embudo, pero lo realmente temible es su veneno. Esta araña de hasta 9,2 cm de diámetro tiene uno de los venenos más potentes del mundo, capaz de matar a un humano adulto en 15 minutos. Afortunadamente, la existencia de un antídoto común para su género ha evitado las víctimas mortales.📷Kane Christensen <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ara%C3%B1as" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arañas</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spiders</span></a></p>
