Envenom in a sentence as a verb
In theory the spider might prey on the hornet, but sparrow hornets are large and strong enough that I suspect it would take a very busy spider to envenom one, and avoid being stung in the process, before the hornet broke free of the web. Too, wasps and hornets see much more acutely than many realize, and likely have a decent chance of seeing and dodging webs - I did once see a bumblebee caught in a red orb weaver's web, but never yet a wasp or hornet, for whatever that's worth.
