Toxic to Animals

Asian wall jumper has a dual toxic function and mainly delivers venom through its fangs during a bite. While asian wall jumper's venom toxicity is considered mild, it may cause discomfort or poisoning in animals including humans, dogs, cats, and birds. Insects, being more directly targeted as prey, may experience more severe effects. Typically, this toxicity is restricted to the adult stage of asian wall jumper, and it is primarily a defense mechanism and a method to subdue prey. The consequences of a bite vary depending on the animal's size and physiological reaction to the venom.

Rectangle
Bite Humans

Asian wall jumper does not typically engage in biting humans. It generally exhibits predatory behavior towards small insects rather than humans. Bites to humans are rare and usually result from defensive actions rather than aggression or hunting methods. If such an incident occurs, the impact of the bite is typically mild, with symptoms akin to a minor bee sting.
