In a flowerpot returned from the Redback Spider Olympics venue at an elementary school in Sumida Ward, Tokyo

At an elementary school in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, a poisonous “Latrodectus mactans” was found as a specific alien organism. The spider was in a flowerpot that was displayed at the Olympic Games venue.

According to Sumida Ward, the day before yesterday, two males and three eggs of the poisonous “Latrodectus mactans”, which is a specific alien organism, were found and exterminated. The spider was found in the morning glory flowerpot displayed at the Tokyo Olympic Games venue when it was returned to school after the Games and the child moved the flowerpot.

It is said that the children have not been bitten or otherwise damaged, but the ward says, “Never catch it with your bare hands, and if you find one, please contact us immediately.”
