Is it normal to care this much for spiders and other insects?

Whenever one of my friends sees a spider and screams, and then goes to kill it, I will push my friend out of the way and save the poor spider.

I'm an average girl and I find spiders so, so cute, I love spiders. I hate seeing a spider get killed pointlessly. In fact you know what? My friends are ignoramuses. It's just a house spider, they're friendly, they're not about to mutate into a giant alien, and yet as soon as they see it they react in such an immature fashion, like this:.

"EEEEEKKKK!!! NO, STOP! GROSS, SO GROSS! *hyperventilates* LOOK A SPIDER, KILL IT, F**KING HELP, PLEASE F**KING HELP ME, IT'S GONNA JUMP ON ME!!!"

That happened just this morning. PATHETIC in my opinion, so babyish.

Once when it happened, one of them actually CRIED. They cried just because a spider touched their fingernail.

I feel the same way about bees and worms, and I never step on snails for fun, in fact all insects are so cute and I hate to see them treated like scum. IIN?

    I'm just like you too! I adore spiders and I allow them to live freely in my home. *Once* in my life, I killed this giant male house spider, because I felt stupid for not being tough enough to. And after I did it I kind of wanted to cry, I felt like I'd run over a dog or something.

    I wish I could be more like you. I'm terrified of spiders!

    I understand totally. Last year a guy I knew set a spider outside my place on fire. I was ready to kill. ._.

    People are so pretentious really... Not everyone may see the beauty in the insect world, but they're better evolved for survival than any other family in the animal kingdom and they've been here for a damn long time.

    And spiders eat the bugs that bite me, and are just so pretty... Maybe people don't look close enough to see all the pretty o.o

    I'm like you. I won't kill anything and I refuse to let anyone murder in my presence.

    I'm not massively keen on insects but I either tolerate them or escort them to a nice spot outside and leave them there.

    What's more fair? Me being slightly put out, or voluntarily ending the only life a creature is ever going to have?

    Where I live a lot of the spiders are venomous, so I usually kill them, but only in the house, or where my kids play outside.
