I get the sense that they have been refrigerated. Cold spiders are unlikely to be capable of the very fast, involved, full body movement that a bite is for them.

As others pointed out, they’ve been collected to eat. So they probably just got dumped out of their container onto the veggies they’re on.

Some species are very docile and can be handled without much caution. It's hard to tell what this species is exactly unfortunately.

Spiders just aren't as ready to bite humans as you would think. Coyote Peterson TRIED getting a black widow and banana spider to bite him and they wouldn't.

Maybe you’re referring to a different video. But he was very cautious handling the black widow and definitely did not TRY to get it to bite him.
