Orb weavers are reluctant to bite. Symptoms are usually negligible or mild local pain, numbness and swelling. Occasionally nausea and dizziness can occur after a bite.

I have been bitten by one not some thing I would recommend but it was over faster than a Red Back spider and way less pain full. Best to keep away from spider bites in OZ.

That is what caught my eye and the size of the web you cant see out side the shot at the 4 points.
