They often hunker down in dark, quiet places.

 

On Ishigaki Island, there are stone-wall houses unique to Okinawa, and they can be found hiding in the stone walls.

 

Therefore, stay away from such places.

Treatment of hub bites

 

If you are bitten by a hub, you will be upset, but it is important to remain calm anyway.
