I kinda love spiders. There is a huge one ( not sure if it's the same one). that keeps appearing in the bath . I tried putting it outside, in case it couldn't get out but it came back. I guess they can get through the plughole or overflow. i wouldn't mind having an er...insectarium?

I protect spiders and they me. I don't fear them, even the bitey ones. I usually take them outside, but sometimes one will decide I'm warm and come sleep with me regardless of my wishes.

I love spiders.

one of the weird facts about me when people ask me to say something odd about me as most people hate them

Love them. I was fortunate enough to see a black widow once. Beautiful. I also love wolf spiders, though we dont have them here.

There are so many types. I read a book on orb weavers. They are all such beautiful beings. We have a no kill policy in this house, just relocation.

Depends. The little jumping spider that lives in my room? We're friends. The giant spiders of the country and the south? You'll learn what my scream sounds like.

I have a bad phobia of spiders. Even cartoon ones. I really have no desire to work on it either. Anyone who tells me I should can go shove it.

I love them. I've got a pet tarantula juvenile :-) I like seeing spiders in general and I think cobwebs are beautiful.

Spiders are awesome - especially like jumping spiders and sparassids

I can't say I love or hate them. I'm no longer phobic, but they can scare me if I run upon them.

“If you wish to live and thrive let the spider run alive.”

Needless to say I love spiders. It bothers me when people kill them. Camel spiders on the other hand are awful.

I'm the same way.

I try to co-exist with them. Put them outside gently. Same with bees and moths.
Once in a while I forget to check the bath before I turn the taps on, and then I feel guilty.

It's funny when I go out my front door in autumn and there are spider webs right across my path. I feel like I do have the right to - lol - walk out of my front gate in the morning despite all the hard work some spider has put in during the night, and despite the fact that webs are beautiful.

I suppose I have some way to go before becoming truly spider friendly. Spiders are welcome themselves, but every so often I destroy the webs under the cupboards and in my garage.

One spider dropped down and bit me. I could see his point of view and didn't feel bad about it. :/

I love spiders. I think they're cool and eat the bugs I don't like. My brother is scared of them, so when I would find one, I would have to take it outside (I'm a girl by the way). I've never been bitten by a spider. I know most of them don't bite humans.

I find spiders to be really cool and interesting when they are outside of -my defined space-. Once they are in my inside space, they must hide or they will be found and killed.

I also think Lucas the Spider is cute. XD

I love spiders. If I find one in the house, I'll usually trap it in a glass and put it on the deck. I'll usually mutter "you should be glad my wife didn't find you". At the same time, I live in an area where there's only one venomous spider so I'm not all that afraid of them. They keep the house clean of pests but they usually leave a pile of carcasses behind.

I am profoundly fond of spiders. One of the first books I read was Charlotte's Web...gave me a love of spiders. I have owned two tarantulas, Daisy and Vivienne. Fascinating beings. They clean their living environment by "sweeping" every week or so, then bundle the old webbing and throw it into a corner.

I do not kill bugs or insects of any kind, with one exception - black widow spiders. I hate, hate when I (rarely) have to kill one. The reason I do is because black widows truly are dangerous, even deadly. If a black widow bit one of my cats, the bite could kill the cat. My nephew was bit by a black widow (he was in his 30's) and wound up in the hospital.
But, yeah...I highly respect most spiders.
