About
Hawaii Spiders: In Hawaii and throughout the
Islands, the
Black Widow, Brown
Recluse, Pale Leaf Spider, Brown Widow, Cane
Spider, and the Hawaiian Happy-Face Spiders
are the most common spiders you can see. Whether
indoors or outdoors, most spiders prefer
undisturbed places. It is important to remove
debris near buildings & clean outdoor areas,
especially porches, under eaves and other likely
breeding places. Clutter in garages, basements,
closets, and storage areas should be removed.
The
Black Widow Spider
has a reputation for being
dangerous to humans which is undeserved. It is
true that when sufficiently provoked, the female
will bite and that the bite, in a few known
cases, has been fatal.
In
making their irregular-shaped web, their
favorite habitat in Hawaii is on Australian
saltbush. It occasionally can be found in or
around dwellings.
The
Brown Recluse Spider
is a recent introduction
to Hawaii. It can inflict a very painful bite
and is considered more dangerous than the black
widow spider.
The Pale Leaf Spider
is also a relatively
recent introduction to Hawaii. Its bite is not
known to be fatal but can be very painful. It
hides in folded leaves in shrubbery. Meeting up
with one can be a startling and painful
experience. It is common in Hawaii and bites are
reported often. The spider itself is pale in
color and only about 3/8 of an inch long.
The Brown Widow Spider
can cause a
very painful bite. It is not known whether or
not it is as dangerous as the black widow, but
probably the two are quite similar. No one in
Hawaii has been known to die as a result of
bites from either the brown widow or the black
widow.
The
Cane
Spider
can be
found on all the Hawaiian Islands and, as the
name implies, the spider frequented the cane
fields. Indeed, 4-wheeling through any abandoned
cane field can result in a number of uninvited
cane spiders attached to your vehicle. Cane
Spiders will often find their way into houses.
The last spider we would like to mention is the
Hawaiian
Happy-Face Spider.
The Hawaiian Happy-Face
Spiders is only found on four of the islands:
Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and Hawaii. This spider has
developed bizarre markings giving the appearance
of a smiling face.
