Because they are made of a thick mucus to trap anything that goes near it, well, anything small at least, clearly YOU don't get caught in a spider web, but mosquitoes and flies do. Then the Spiders eat them.

Spider webs are made of protein. One of these is the soft, strong protein that creates the spider's silk, and the other is gooey and sticky, like mucous, The sticky protein is drizzled on the web as the spider makes it, causing the web to be sticky.

Spiders produce two kinds of silk - a sticky kind and a non-sticky kind. When a spider walks on its web, it walks only on the nonsticky strands.

Why doesn't a spider get stuck on its own web?

Spiders have special oily or waxy coatings on their legs that prevent them from getting stuck on their own webs. The design of their legs and the way they move also helps them avoid getting trapped in their webs. Additionally, spiders can detect the different sticky and non-sticky strands of their webs through sensory hairs on their legs, allowing them to navigate without getting stuck.

Are cob webs dangerous?

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.
