Uģis Piterāns, an expert from the Latvian Museum of Nature, gives an explanation of what the woman has encountered in her flower garden.
–
“The spider in the picture is quite interesting. And it’s called the wasp spider.
–
In the picture, of course, you can see why such a name, because the spider itself is striped, yellow – black like a wasp ‘s belly, “says Peter.
–
“The spider itself is relatively harmless. It is one of the largest spiders in Latvia. And if we take it in our hands, in theory he can bite. This bite will be a little painful.”
–
The expert points out that “this is not dangerous, because there are no poisonous spiders in Latvia that can do us great harm. But, of course, when taking the largest spiders in your hands, you have to be careful.”
