Bite Humans
Rectangle
Toxic to Animals

Grayish jumping spider predominantly uses its toxin defensively and for prey immobilization. The venom is delivered through a bite, using specialized fangs. Typically, the toxicity is mild, affecting both larger animals, like humans and domestic pets, as well as smaller organisms, including various insects and arthropods. While most larger animals might experience minor symptoms such as localized pain or irritation, smaller prey can be more severely affected, leading to their swift immobilization.

Rectangle
Bite Humans

Grayish jumping spider's biting of humans is rare and primarily defensive. Such instances often involve adult grayish jumping spider feeling threatened or provoked, leading them to employ their fangs. The immediate effects of a bite tend to be mild and localized to the site of the bite.
