Here are 7 intimidating insects in Texas that can pay attention to this summer

When the temperatures in Texas begin to warm up, more animals will be on the road and sunbathe in the sun.

The Lone Star State may be the most diverse in terms of beetles – in Texas almost 30,000 insect species, almost a third in the nation. While most of these creepy crawlers are completely harmless, some can cause a painful, toxic bite.

In order to find the most poisonous in the state, we have intervened the archives of the Houston Museum of Natural Science and the Texas A & M University and adhered to a list of the most intimidated insects, which should be observed, especially in the summer months.

Black widow

The dreaded black widow is a potentially dangerous spider because its poison is neurotoxic – which means that it could be harmful to the nervous system.

There is some good news: these lanky creatures are usually shy and, according to Texas A & M University, will not attack, unless they are driven into the tightness or feel threatened.

Black widows are jet black, have a spherical belly with a reddish or yellowish hourglass on the underside. They are found both inside and outside and prefer to nest in protected areas such as under tables, chairs, latrines, eaves or plants.

The severity of a victim's reaction to a spider bite depends on the area of the bite, the amount of injected poison, the depth of the bite, the age of the victim and other factors, according to the Texas Ministry of Health and Human Services.

Some of the symptoms associated with black widow are abdominal cramps, headaches, sweating sweating, vomiting and trembling.

Brown hermit

The Golden Brown animal, known for its cowardly mark, is common in cellars and undisturbed areas such as boards, firewood and rocks.

The spider is rarely aggressive (hence the name Einsiedler), but can attack if they are accidentally caught or feel disturbed or threatened. Its bite contains hemotoxic poison, which affects red blood cells and tissue, and a small number of brown hermit biters leads to necrosis or to the death of cells.

The symptoms of a recluse spider biss are shaking frost, fever, nausea, a red and blue lesion at the bite point and weakness according to DSHS. Sometimes a reaction can be delayed for days and the healing can take months.

Strip bark scorpion

According to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, there are 18 species of scorpionation in Texas, and the Strip -Bar -Scorpion is the most frequently discovered.

While none of the scorpions in the state is considered fatal, the predatory Arachnid carries neurotoxins into his poison, which causes pain and localized swelling.

The Strip -Bar -Barpion is brown with black stripes and finds under rocks and climbs on trees and houses -usually at night.

Texas red -haired tentipede

While thousand feet are most common in central texas, you will also find the Texas red-haired hundred feet in the southwestern part of the United States and the north of Mexico.

The nocturnal predator can reach up to 8 inches and the pinch of pine and legs causes sharp pain and swelling.

Symptoms from a bite include nausea, headache and skin necrosis.

Here is another interesting delicacies about Ttipedes from Texas A & M University: The first pair “legs” is actually a few hollow zone with a poison gland at the base.

Kiss beetles

While the beetle may sound pleasant, the insect was named after its bite, which often occurs near the mouth or the eyes of a person. The bite is somewhat painful, but it is possible to transfer the parasite, which, according to the World Health Organization, causes life -threatening chagas disease.

While Texas, New Mexico and Arizona have a wide variety of ways and most of the knowledge of kissing beetles, about half are infected with the Chagas parasite, quotes the Texas A & M University.

Secure your home by having no gaps around doors and baseboards to leave the windows open without screens and switch off at night when you are safe.

Cross bugs fly to the light.

ASP -Rawe

The appearance of this caterpillar is deceptive; While it seems to have a soft coat, the insect contains stinging toxins.

The ASP-Raupe is yellow or gray to red-brown and in the larval stage of the southern flannel moth. It can be found in oaks, elms and other garden plants.

If you get a bite from these living things, Texas A&M recommends to place an ice cream bag at the point of the stab, and oral antihistamines can be administered to relieve the itching and combustion recommendations.

If an allergic reaction occurs, you are looking for medical help.

Eastern Velvet ants

Despite the name, the East Sternmeise is actually a winghole wasp, although these colorful insects look similar to ants.

The black and orange-red beetle with a long ovipositor or stinger is also known as a “cow killer” due to its extremely painful stitch, which is even more agile than a bee sting. Nevertheless, medical treatment is rarely necessary, usually with allergic reaction.

The ant oster Velvet is usually seen in all of Texas in summer and is located in rural and urban areas of the state.
