Please help me. Should I worry about my kids getting bit. This type of Spider is webbing up on kids outdoor toys.
Hi. If this is even a real spider, it is one of the jumping spiders, very harmless, very reluctant to bite.
Played with a great many as a kid myself and never bitten. They can bite, but I compare to ant sting.
They do leave dragline silk behind them but don’t use web for prey capture.
What I see here:
First, the eyes are not right and the face contour doesen’t match any spider I know.
Really looks to be a furry kids toy.
This is my last little pet jumping spider:
