Toxic to Animals

Aussie bronze jumping spider is equipped with fangs that deliver a mild venom, affecting both larger animals like humans, dogs and cats, as well as smaller creatures such as insects and small mammals. This venom is utilized primarily as a defense mechanism and for subduing prey. While the venom can cause discomfort and localized reactions in larger animals, it is typically not harmful to their overall health. In contrast, smaller animals may experience more severe consequences, leading to paralysis or death, which aids aussie bronze jumping spider in feeding.

Bite Humans

Aussie bronze jumping spider typically does not bite humans; such behavior is not characteristic of this species. If bites occur, it is usually in self-defense when the spider feels threatened. Bites are rare and most often have mild consequences, with symptoms akin to a bee sting. Adults may bite if provoked, but they generally avoid human interaction and use biting as a last resort.
