It has an incredibly painful bite and sometimes won't let go until physically removed, or shaken off

It will leave clear bite marks where it bites. As its venom starts to take effect, victims will quickly begin to experience symptoms

This is because its venom contains a neurotoxin called robustoxin or delta atracotoxin
