Homalonychus theologus possesses a venomous sting that can result in mild to severe toxicity in certain animals, depending on their size and susceptibility. In instances of envenomation, humans may experience pain, swelling, and allergic reactions, whereas smaller animals like cats, dogs, and rodents might suffer more intense effects due to their smaller body mass and different physiological responses. These reactions stem from the venom's active compounds, which can affect various systems in the body. Adults of homalonychus theologus are the life stage at which they are venomous and capable of stinging.
