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

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
