Toxic to Animals

Bronze jumper primarily uses its fangs to deliver a mild venom that functions to subdue prey as well as defense. When humans or domestic animals like dogs and cats encounter bronze jumper, they may experience minor discomfort or an allergic reaction. Birds or smaller animals, similarly, may be affected if they come into contact with the venom during a bite. Insects, which are a natural prey of bronze jumper, are particularly susceptible to the paralytic effects of the toxin, leading to their capture.

Rectangle
Bite Humans

Bronze jumper typically doesn't exhibit biting behavior towards humans. In rare instances where this may occur, it is usually in self-defense or when they feel threatened. The impact of such bites on humans is generally minor due to bronze jumper's small size and non-aggressive disposition towards humans.
