Why are there no dangerous spiders in the UK?
There was never any evolutionary pressure, that made more potent venom more advantageous. Producing more powerful venom has a metabolic 'cost' to the spider, ie, it takes more energy.

Natural selection therefore favours spiders with a less potent, more energy efficient venom.
