Toxic to Animals

Garden orbweb spider typically delivers a toxin that is mild in intensity through bites using its fangs. It is generally the adult stage that is capable of envenomating. For smaller mammals such as mice, and insects, a bite can lead to discomfort and potentially more severe symptoms due to their smaller body mass and different physiological reactions to the toxin. Humans, if bitten, might experience mild reactions ranging from slight irritation to temporary discomfort.

Rectangle
Bite Humans

Garden orbweb spider typically does not exhibit biting behavior toward humans. In the rare event of a bite, it is a defensive reaction when provoked. These shy creatures use their fangs to deliver a mild bite that rarely has serious consequences for humans.
