If you read the headline and the first half of the article, you will get the impression these things are a terrible menace ("giant venomous flying spiders"). Only near the end do they point out that the spiders' venom is only actually dangerous to the insects they eat, and possibly other spiders. It poses no threat to humans.

So if you're a cockroach or a fly, you maybe should be worried about these guys.

Humans, not so much!
