Do spiders bite or sting people?

Answer 1

Spiders possess chelicerae, which are somewhat analogous to fangs. In order to bite humans, a spider's fangs must be large enough to pierce the skin. Some spiders are able to deliver venom through their chelicerae.

Answer 2

Most spiders do not harm humans, but there are some that are poisonous and can harm us if provoked. Some tarantulas have large fangs that can infect humans with poison if they are bitten. Some spiders, like the Black Widow and Brown Recluse are very deadly, and live in households alongside humans, but rarely come to harm them. So, some spiders can hurt humans, but most spiders prefer to keep their distance and will not harm people unless they are provoked.

Answer 3

A cobweb refers to any old web from any type of spider-it is not spider specific, however the most dangerous spiders in US keep low to the ground so cobwebs being in high places were most likely formerly inhabited by spiders harmless to humans.
