Yellow sac spider

Yellow sac spider

Cheiracanthium punctorium

A species of Yellow sac spiders

With a proclivity for warmer habitats, yellow sac spider exhibits a pale yellow to greenish hue, allowing it to blend seamlessly within foliage. Upon reaching maturity, this arachnid adopts a predominantly nocturnal lifestyle, hunting small insects with a potent venom that subdues its prey swiftly. While its bite is generally harmless to humans, it can cause mild discomfort. Its life cycle includes an intriguing transformation from an embryonic spiderling within a silken sac, emerging as a voracious predator.
