I've heard that Big spiders don't spin webs. So what is the point of them apart from reproduction and scaring humans?

I beleive they do but the web is considerably bigger than any other spider.
There are some large species of spider who are more proactive predators - they pursue their prey and paralyse and digest it, rather than waiting for the prety to stray into a web.
Big spiders do not spin webs, the trantula live in a burrows and hunt mice and other creatures.
I agree with Andy and I disagree with unabashed
The Australian bush spider, which grows up to a couple of inches across the body certainly does spin webs - frequently across driveways in suburban homes. Fortunately they are not venomous and you soon become used to watching the air in front of you!
