Toxic to Animals

Large brown vagrant spider is mildly toxic, secreting venom through its fangs primarily as a defensive mechanism and to immobilize prey. When it bites, humans and mammals, such as dogs, may experience localized discomfort and minor reactions, while smaller animals like rats might become incapacitated. Various insects, upon envenomation, could suffer paralysis or death due to their smaller body mass and different physiology. Both juvenile and adult stages of large brown vagrant spider possess the ability to envenomate, posing a risk to a wide range of animals.
