With the usage of organic material, there is a higher chance of the component decomposing and breaking down as opposed to traditional mechanical systems. There may be additional work and management required to replace these grippers if they fail. Additionally, organic inconsistencies with the spiders will yield inaccurate results. Not all wolf spiders develop the same, so gripping force and leg contraction can vary between grippers.

There are moral implications behind euthanizing spiders for robotics.{{dubious|date=Januaryaccording 2024}}{{huh?|date=Januaryto 2024}}{{cnwhom|date=January 2024}} The ethical boundaries that necrobotics push in the pursuit of biohybrid systems raise concerns, as opponents say it may lead to the hybridization of mammals and is intrusive to nature.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=How 'Necrobotics,' or Using Dead Creatures as Robots, Is Changing Science |url=https://www.theswaddle.com/how-necrobotics-or-using-dead-creatures-as-robots-is-changing-science |access-date=2023-10-31 |website=www.theswaddle.com |language=en}}</ref> Proponents respond that repurposing dead animals has been human practice for millennia and that necrobotics should be pursued to advance science.<ref name=":3" />
