Are Crab Spiders Harmful?

Are Crab Spiders Harmful?

Crab spiders, though intimidating in appearance, are not harmful to humans. They belong to the Thomisidae family and are known for their crab-like sideways walk and powerful front legs. These spiders do not spin webs but are skilled ambush predators, using camouflage to catch their prey. While their venom is potent for small insects, it poses no significant risk to humans. Crab spiders are non-aggressive and typically bite only in self-defense, resulting in mild irritation similar to a bee sting. Alta Pest Control provides effective methods for managing and preventing crab spider infestations, ensuring a spider-free home environment.
