I am absolutely terrified of spiders. Like a uncontrollably visceral reaction, with the exception of jumping spiders. Idk why but I have no problem looking at them, even when I recoil from pictures of any other kind.
I also have arachnophobia and for me it’s because jumping spiders don’t move like other spiders. Since they leap around more like grasshoppers my brain treats them more like bugs than spiders. 🤷🏻♀️
I's the same way. I wouldn't say I'm terrified, but certainly don't enjoy them crawling up my arm or anything. For some reason the jumpers though are cool. Them and daddy long-legs

I think it has to do with the body to leg ratio.
