Evilshy 5,090 June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 It seems like everybody else has some degree of dislike for them, ranging from neutral to "oh god I hate them kill them all with fire". Me? I love spiders. They look cool. They kill things in cool ways. Some, such as the orb weavers we have around here, are actually quite beautiful to me. I love watching them spin webs. So am I alone in this? Oh, also, same question about snakes. I really like snakes, as well, but other people seem to hate them :/ 8 Signature now 99% less edgy!

Chigens and Kay 3,832 June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 Well I absolutely abhor spiders. Although sometimes I can get up enough courage to touch them. Regarding snakes, however, I love them! Their sleek bodies and the way they move around and such. Fascinating. 2 My signature broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteshade 1,426 June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 I used to have a spider corpse on my desk, does that count? I'm neutral towards both snakes and spiders, although I have an inclination to kill spiders, because schadenfreude.

Isobel 279 June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 No. I actually have arachnophobia, so spiders is a no-no. Now snakes, I love. I have no problem with snakes or rats, or anything that isn't a spider or looks like one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Chaos~ 3,967 June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 I think snakes are pretty cool, but for some reason, Spiders just.. i don't know how to explain it, i mean i know they do good things, but I just get all creeped out, and the funny thing is that when i was younger, my friend and I used to search for them and pick them up i guess things have changed.

After all as the saying goes, 'the worst thing about a spider is when you know it's there, but can't see it.' See, I don't mind the on me, either. I'll sometimes pick them up let them crawl around on my hands. Only ones that I know aren't agressive, though. Sadly, my mom and sister are both arachnophobes, so I have to kill spiders when I find them inside. I genuinely feel bad when I do Only exception is when they're in my room, then I can let them live and just not tell anybody. I'll usually take them outside, though, simply because having bugs in my room is a bit gross :/ 1 Signature now 99% less edgy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilshy 5,090 June 17, 2012 Author Share June 17, 2012 (edited) Huntsman spiders are okay, they're too fragile, though. You can like, breathe on one and he starts limping. Also, adorable spider picture, in a spoiler for you arachnophobes. That's actually a mating dance. He just wants a hug from a cute girl spider. And then he wants to fuck and die shortly afterwards. See how willing he is to throw away his life for his family? That is one awesome spider. Edited June 17, 2012 by Evilshy 3 Signature now 99% less edgy!

Strife 455 June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 I LOVE spiders, they eat all the annoying insects. There are several spiders in my house that I leave alone. We have a mutual understanding. They stay off of me and they get o stay in the cozy house and eat all the bugs. Basically, I pay their rent and they do housecleaning for me. Any time I find a spider that is simply in an unacceptable location, I will capture it and release it outside. Normally somewhere on my plants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strife 455 June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 I forgot to mention that the common Jumping Spider is my favorite type. Extremely clever, fantastic visual acuity, and long distance pouncing. Hard to beat that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing lots of facts is helpful when you also have context behind them. I'm good at relaying principles but bad at remembering contexts though.

moneyshredderofdeath 414 June 17, 2012 Share June 17, 2012 Spiders are interesting to read about, but I personally loathe being near one. At the very least, they're incapable of flight, which puts them higher on my animal-preference totem pole than flies, which have zero redeeming qualities.

I hate anything that is a bug or is related to bugs, Butterflies and bumblebees get a free pass from me if they know how to behave. I also hate a lot of weird and icky sea life(jellyfish I'm looking at you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluttertree 19 June 18, 2012 Share June 18, 2012 Mostly I do like spiders, and don't mind seeing them in the house. However, if they're big (as in, palm-of-the-hand size), I tend to freeze up and get adrenaline flowing until I chide myself into remembering that they won't hurt me unless I do something stupid. I think that's natural though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
