Is the spider venomous or poisonous at all? ~2026-68745-9 (talk) 06:37, 1 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Like almost all spiders, species of the genus Herpyllus produce venom which they inject into their prey, so in that sense they are venomous. There seems no evidence that they pose any serious danger to people. (A "poison" is something you eat or drink.) Peter coxhead (talk) 17:54, 1 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
