It turns out that God's 8 legged avenger actually has a poisonous bite for self defense, rather than for stunning and chowing down on prey:
"Somehow, in God's infinite wisdom, every animal and insect on this planet has a purpose. Most have been given a method of self-defense and the brown recluse spider is no exception. It has a poisonous bite that is so dangerous, you should make every effort to avoid any contact with this little monster."
