    To add to what nougat said, because that’s very much the appropriate answer…

    All spiders are in fact venomous- it’s part of how they feed. Many species, the venom is not harmful to humans, or only very weakly so. (Wolf spiders qualify as “very weakly so”)

    That said, you try keeping a reasonable head when you suddenly come eyeball-to-eyeball with a wolf spiders qualify and her kids.

      Yes, all spiders are venomous, but only few have venoum which are dangerous for humans and also only few capable to inject it under the human skin. Dangerous are only few species and not necesarly the biggest ones, eg, the Australian Huntsman is not. https://www.britannica.com/list/9-of-the-worlds-deadliest-spiders

        Did the comment above get edited? It look like you’re just repeating the same thing stated in there.

      Are there any exceptions to this? And what about non spiders like daddy long legs?

        So, true spiders digest their food externally by injecting the venom. They then slurp it up. So the answer to that is “Yes”. Some true spiders may also eat the more solid bits, but that’s in addition to. but again, many- most- spiders are essentially harmless to humans.

        harvestmen (daddy long legs) are not venomous and lack the mouth-parts necessary for injection, but they’re not true spiders.

          Harvestmen do not possess venom glands.
