I like spiders and have never been scared of them. I sometimes would keep spiders I found as pets :lol: :spider:

I used to not be but I am now.
Yes I am moderately scared of spiders. Not absolutely petrified, but scared enough that if there's a hefty house spider in the same room as me I have to get rid of it before I can feel comfortable again.

We have a female house spider living in our living room at the moment (I've not named her because I am rubbish at naming things).

It depends on the size and movement (and hairy-ness!) of the spider, but in general I am quite scared of them. It doesn't help that I have visual hallucinations of spiders sometimes (as part of my psychosis) - so when I see a spider :ahhhhh: I'm never quite sure if it's actually there or not :erm: :iiam: :nope:
I have also had a few crawl over me in bed, so not a huge fan.
I am able to evict them if they aren't huge ones thouqh.

I held a tarantula once. It was a bit scary, but fun.

No favorite though. I said I'm ok with most of them, not that I like them.

Not at all, on the contrary: when I was younger I wished to have spiders as pets in terrarium.

Spiders eat flies so they get a big ❤️ from me!

As long as they fly into their net, but better than nothing. I just don't like when they eat butterflies.
