How do you feel about spiders?

I absolutely HATE spiders. They completely gross me out. It is not fear, just the yuck factor.
Every morning as a child I had to go out my front door and across a patio that the morning sun shined on. Every morning that the sun warmed those patio stones, there would be several dozen fist sized, red, hairy tarantulas, sunning themselves in my path. Every fucking sunny morning!

I remember it was 2004. I was half asleep and I felt my skin itch, so I scratched it and thought nothing of it. It wasn't until the itching got so bad, that I had to get out of bed and turn on the light to check and see why it itched. To my horror, I saw spiders on me, my bed, and on my wall. So, yep, I hate spiders.

I love all life, plants and animals, with the exception of pest. Like Ticks, lice, flies, ETC, they can fuck off

Spiders are evil. Nuff said.

I love spiders, and think they're beautiful!

Ugh, thats my greatest fear they ugly AF! Like its the only time you'll hear me curse alot, fuck I get teary eyed and shit begging someone to get rid of it.
Its legs crawling, sprawled out everywhere stays in my head and I get all paranoid and shit.. Hell, im cringing even writing this.
Some spiders do bite alright!? I have so many insane spider stories shit they were the worstest days ever.. Fuck those damn crawly things!!!!

Love them. I want a tarantula for a pet.

Odd thing is, I love spiders but I'm also terrified of them.

I pick them up and put them outside. They are a vital part of our earth and keep lesser insects from over populating. Lesser insects like mosquitos.

Mosquitos are known to carry encephalitis, west nile virus, dengue fever, malaria, rift valley fever, and yellow fever. So the next time you think about smashing a spider. Remember that spider just may save your life.

Stay away from spiders..

I respect them even though sometimes the thought of eating one in my sleep scares me. I had a house spider a few years ago that used to live on my wall and in my apartment but my roommate killed it:/

I don't really mind them that much. They give me a little surprise when I see them but otherwise I just leave them. Occasionally I kill them, though.

I mostly hate them. But I did enjoy watching this one garden spider shake it's web back and forth when we walked past it's bush home.

Living in Minnesota and being raised up north, I actually like them. They eat mosquitoes, which are the real pests. Spiders are great as long as they stay outside. I don't trust those fuckers indoors though.

True story: according to a doctor, my cousin was bit by a spider once, but I'm not sure how accurate that was.

Gross...

I chose "indifferent towards them", but after watching that video about foods eaten around the world, I want to try eating some.

It just makes me wonder why do most of us experience this intense, visceral terror? Evolutionary biologists seem to say there was once a time when it was very beneficial for us to be scared of them like they were a very big threat to us, but it just feels like it's more than that...like it's part of the eternal battle between good and evil which we won but they have still survived in a seemingly innocuous form, just waiting, plotting their revenge...and giving us the odd scare now and again.

Hungry.

I move them if they're somewhere they don't belong (kitchen counter, bed, bathtub) but otherwise I leave them alone.

I love them. I had a tarantula for over ten years. She died a few months ago :( I'm usually the one that gets called into a room because there's a spider. I never kill them. Ever. Despite the protests, I bring it outside, or sometimes just put it on a houseplant :) shh.

Spiders creep me out, but I know they eat other bug pests. If they're outside I let them be. If they're in the house, I try to catch them without hurting them and take them outside.

I'm fascinated by them for sure. I've always wanted a pet tarantula but for some reason I can't justify keeping something that I admire in captivity. I think I took a picture of a spider a few months ago, which turned out to be interesting because it looked like it was sad
