Both Cobweb and Spider web refer to the silken threads spun by a spider. The meanings are identical.
However the word "cobweb" can also be used to mean a single thread spun by a spider, whereas spider web tends to be used to describe a multi strand pattern.
On saying this, the actual definition defines both "cobweb" and "spider web" as being the same, with little or no difference between them.
A cobweb also refers to a web that is no longer in use by the spider that made it for what ever reason the spider has moved on.

Do you mean "spiders that make cobwebs"? Do you mean "poisonous" (like hemlock tea) or venomous (like cobra venom)? The word "cob" in "cobweb" just meant "spider." So a cobweb is just a spider web. Not all spiders are venomous. No spiders are known to be poisonous. Since black widows make webs, some "cob spiders" are highly venomous.
