Lycosoides coarctata

Lycosoides coarctata

Lycosoides coarctata

A species of Lycosoides

Adorned with a characteristic pattern that camouflages lycosoides coarctata amidst leaf litter and bark, this arachnid is a master of concealment in its habitat. Prowling primarily at night, it employs a unique hunting strategy: instead of weaving webs, it actively pursues prey with agility and precision, relying on its keen sensory organs to detect even the subtlest of vibrations emitted by potential meals.

Are Lycosoides coarctata harmful to humans?

Funnel weavers, like most spiders, have fangs and can inject venom into prey. The toxicity of the venom is limited. For humans, the bite of the funnel spider is not serious in most cases unless the patient himself has a severe allergic reaction to the venom.
