Daddy longlegs/Opiliones/harvestmen have an undivided thorax and abdomen... and are never venomous. They chew their food rather than inject it with a liquifying poison.

Spiders/Araneae have a separate thorax and abdomen, and have venom though not all have the ability to break human skin. Spiders drink their food after injecting it with liquifying poison.
