Aranha-reclusa-chilena (que é venenosa) foi detectada pela primeira vez em Portugal

Scientists in Portugal have identified the Loxosceles laeta spider, originally from South America, for the first time in the city of Porto. This species is known to be venomous, but experts state that the risk to the general population is low. The spider's presence has been confirmed through identification processes, though no incidents involving this species have been reported yet. Researchers emphasize that while the spider's venom is potent, proper medical treatment can manage any potential bites effectively. The discovery highlights the importance of monitoring non-native species in new environments.
