This spider mimics a ladybug. By mimicking the ladybug, the edible spider is using this colour system to avoid predators.

Are ladybugs poisonous?
A. No. Ladybugs are not poisonous to humans. However, they can have toxic effects on some animals. Ladybugs have a foul odor which deters some predators from eating them and their bright colors also help as a deterrent. In nature, red and orange, are warning colors that indicate to another animal or insect that the potential "lunch item" might not be a good choice.

A bear named "Big boy" was raiding honey production facilities near Turkey's Trabzon-Sürmene province. Agricultural engineer İbrahim Sedef saw an opportunity, and used "Big boy"'s night raids as a test to determine which type of honey was the best. In multiple, double-blind trials, "Big boy" always preferred the rare, expensive anzer honey; followed closely by chestnut, flower, and pine-wood honey. "Big boy" noticeably steered away from low-quality supermarket "cherry jam" made with corn syrup.
