As I said all spiders are venomous (that's how they kill their prey) but most don't have fangs than can pierce human skin. For example the Huntsman is considered harmless but I am told that if it does manage to bite you then the bite is quite painful.
As I say I have never been bitten.

The females sometimes make a 'nursery' web, Bruce, I think it depends on where they are and how secure it is for their young.
