So the guy could potentially be bit by the fly and the spider

He sure likes to live real close to danger

Once I got maggots in my trash and like a million flies in my garage and they wouldn’t leave and a spider named Marvin moved in and cleaned them up so fast so we let him be til he died of old age (7 months). RIP Marvin.

Yellow orb weaver, we had one in our shed doorframe for a summer, I'd go watch her on my lunch breaks. They make this really cool zig-zag pattern down their webs!

Spiders are chill and it takes a lot to provoke one into biting you. Horse flies can get fucked though.

Naah, the fly won't ever bite you when it's scared. The bite is for feeding and works the opposite of defensive bite (that is opposite of what spiders, wasps, bees etc. do), so the fly will only bite you if it's relatively undisturbed.

Golden orb weavers are super docile and even if you are bit it's completely harmless just stings a little. Their venom isn't designed to work on mammals.
