Poisonous spiders...... is there any other kind?..
There are many spiders who's venom is not poisonous to humans. Many poisonous spiders can't hurt a person, anyways, because their bite can't break the skin. Daddy Longlegs is a perfect example. It is the most venomous spider from what I understand but cannot harm a human at all.

All arachnids have eight legs, although in some species the front pair may convert to a sensory function. Creepy, yes, deadly, no.
