Because they stare into your SOUL
Now come on, Im a REALLY REALLY strong Arachnophobic, but thats just cute[/I].

I mean thats what annoys me. Im terrified of Spiders, I will run like a scared little girl if i see one, But im FASCINATED by them. I love how they are perfectly adapted for what they do, some have a bite which can take down creatures so much bigger than themselves (us).

Incidentally, Did you know if the huntsman spider was Human sized it can run the 100m in 3.4 seconds? (i think, Going off memory here >.<)

Because they're hairy, they bite, they leave webs everywhere, and they're really ugly. I swear there probably isn't a bug in this world that I like. Almost all of them are ugly, kill you, or both.

Look up Brown Recluse or Hobo Spider bites in google images and I swear you'll never barefoot in the basement again. Hell I was just trying to look up Hobo spiders and the damn thing added "bites". Go on look it up you know you want to and I know you'll most likely regret it.

I don't really fear them. It's more of a "well, that's strange. Let's stay away from that thing," response.
Lots of legs, many kinds bite, and way too many put their damned webs up right in my face that is always just high enough to walk right through the invisible clingy strands of gyeeesh.
Although I will admit that finding a spider in my room as I'm about to go to sleep is always unsettling.

Because humans have surpringly strong instincts and some of our ancestors remember these fucking scary eight legged things which almost killed them or that killed their friends and mates.

Here are some nice spider pics for you all!
Aww... I was hoping to see a picture in that bunch that would've haunted me or something. Those pictures are tame, even for someone with arachnophobia like myself.

Spiders have a body composition unlike any other creature on the planet. Eight eyes, eight legs, surprisingly fast and agile, and natural predators with fangs.

There's no reason NOT to be afraid of them.

Plenty of other animals are venomous or otherwise dangerous to humans, lots of animals are fast and agile, countless animals are predators with fangs. It's not what they do that makes them frightening. It's all about how they look.

Spiders are completely different to us. There's no connection we can make with them. You can't personify a spider the same way you can a lion or a bear. Spiders are just alien and that's terrifying.

We get on best with things that have a recognisable face, even if they're savage predators that will kill and eat you in a heartbeat. Two eyes, a nose and a mouth below that, two ears to the side of the head. The vast majority of animals most people can think of have that face. Mammals, fish, reptiles, birds, amphibians - even a lot of insects. We can imagine expressions on them, project our own feelings on them, it makes it easier to like them.

Spiders? Nothing like that. Too many eyes. Mandibles instead of a mouth. They don't even have the right number of limbs. Spiders are just so completely alien to us and that is what makes them so terrifying.

for me its because one clawed down my shit when i was 3 or 4
Well my fear is kinda strange.

I was scared because i was convincved that their bite would give you loads of pimples so i feared that people will tease me and hate me if i got bit by a spider.

so technically i wasn't afraid of the spider i was afraid of what happens after......

this was all before 8.

I dont mind Spiders. They do unnerve me a little but I can see one and go "Oh look its a spider and carry on" because I live in England where big spiders are hard to come by.

But I have a Grandad who has tons of spiders and tarantulas all in his shed. They are in container things but still bit like "My god!" when you walk in. Hes lets me look after one I named Trevor though so Im not as scared as I used to be.

But you can see how they're both fascnating and unnerving.
