Huh. I have those around and didn't even know they bit. Had one living in my screened patio a week or so ago, but I think it finally figured out that it wasn't going to catch much there...
Like most spiders they tend to avoid humans. But if your chore growing up is to clean up all the rotting oranges you're going to be in their territory a bit and the bites are really uncomfortable.
The worst part was the pain would last a few hours.
