Half-edged wall jumping spider typically poses a mild threat through toxicity, mainly manifesting when individuals are bitten. Adults are responsible for secreting venom during such interactions. The venom is delivered via fangs, which can cause discomfort and potential reactions in animals such as humans, dogs, cats, and smaller mammals. While the effects are typically not severe for larger creatures, they can vary among different species with smaller ones possibly experiencing more acute consequences.
