Xysticus funestus or the Deadly Ground Crab Spider is a species of ground crab spider in the family Thomisidae.[1][2] It is found in North America.[2][3][4]
Despite the common name, ‘Deadly Ground Crab Spider’, Xysticus funestus poses no threat to humans nor pets. Bites are extremely rare, due to the spider’s natural avoidance of humans, and are not life-threatening, typically only causing minor swelling and redness at the wound site.
