Some spiders seem to think, recognize people and take immediate evasive action. Contrast that with a beetle, or ant. They just keep walking along like I'm not even there.

I turned the kitchen light on once and saw a spider in the middle of the floor. It ran straight under the fridge. It would peek out occasionally to see if I was still there.

That's why spiders scare me.

Spiders are insectivores and have little to no interest in you. That's why I love them. When you have spiders, you don't have pesty insects, in the same way that when you have cats you don't have rodents.
