It is capable of poisoning both larger animals such as humans and dogs as well as smaller organisms like insects. Different animals experience dissimilar reactions to the venom, from mild discomfort among humans and dogs to more severe effects in smaller creatures. Juveniles and adults of magnolia Green Jumper are equally potent, using their bite as a defense mechanism or to subdue prey.
