all spiders bite (they gotta eat
) not all are aggressive, and all spiders are poisonous to some level, some just doesn't affect us.
From a couple web sites:
All spiders can and will bite if in danger or accidentally touched e.g. in shoes or clothing. Any spider bite can cause a reaction. Different people may react in different ways so it is best to be cautious around all spiders and look but do not touch any spider no matter how it is rated.
The females of the Golden Orb reach an imposing 45mm (nearly two inch) body length but they are basically harmless. These spiders are placid enough that they even allow other small species of spiders to cohabit their web in a symbiotic relationship (each contributes something which benefits the other). Commonly encountered in the Wet Tropics, the Golden Orb can also be seen around buildings.
