I have a pet tarantula n I never touch it ofc and also I am scared of crickets or any bug 😂. I always just avoid jumping spiders if I see one n especially scared of wolf spiders shits ugly n fast asf. But like my tarantula is a pink toe and is an new world so it’s not aggressive and is super slow. When I have to clean the change which only have to every few months I get scared of getting it out but then I get courage n keep pushing it with a pen (gently) . I feel so strong after getting the courage of pushing it to another container.

No but I HATE the sensation of spiders/bugs crawling on me. If a spider is far away from me just doing its thing, then I'm fine

Spiders are the gods' way of teaching you to not judge a book by its cover. They're small and fast and creepy looking, but they're one of the best guardians we could have against some truly terrible invaders.

That's an interesting perspective. I won't say you're wrong, just that I think spiders would be God's way of telling you why we do judge books by their covers. Only some spiders are venomous, enough of them actually are though, such that we are best off disliking all spiders as a rule.

No, not disliking; that leads to violence against them and more death for us. Avoiding, perhaps.

Right... that's a communication failure on my part
