They bite because they're trying to defend themselves. Why do humans attack tigers? Well, if a tiger was lunging towards you, you'd fight back. Same thing with spiders, it's just that they have a slight advantage over us in the "slow and painful death" category.

Spiders bite humans, whenever humans are in close contact with them. They do so in response to defend themselves. They don't consider humans as their pray, and run for them to hunt down, they bite only when humans are in close contact and create some fearful disturbance into their environment.

In discussing human envenomation incidents, quite often both the lay and medical communities use the words "bite" and "sting" interchangeably, even in the same sentence, to describe one mode of venom injection. In the strict sense, "bite" describes venom injected via structures associated with the mouth such as fangs or mandibles and "sting" connotes the injection of venom via a tapered, posterior structure most accurately called a sting (or colloquially, stinger). Venoms associated with the feeding organs of the animal, the mouth, have evolved for handling prey and therefore are designed to bring about paralysis, widespread tissue destruction and/or death in the victim. Defensive use of these oral venoms is secondary. Venoms associated with posterior stings have evolved primarily for defense and are designed to cause immediate pain such that the victim associates the creature with an unpleasant but probably non-fatal experience and learns to avoid it on future encounters. Both fangs and stings are structures for venom delivery, and have associated venom glands and ducts. "Venomous" refers to any animals that possess venom (not all venomous creatures are dangerous to humans), while "poisonous" refers to those venomous animals whose venoms have a deleterious effect on humans, but also to animals which secrete or sequester deleterious toxins
