We get giant fucking tarantulas at my house, so no, I don't like spiders.
They are big and dramatic and wussy. If pushed you'll see them do the threat display with the raised legs and fangs and hissing, but they're way too delicate to worry about. They'll fang ya if they have to, but they'd much prefer you go "HOLY GODS WHY DOES THAT CAT HAVE FOUR EXTRA LEGS OH SHIT IT ISN'T A CAT AT ALL WHAT THE HELL" and run away so they can do the same.
Then you get super docile spiders that flat out won't fang you unless you're actively damaging them.
Orb weavers like Mrs. Elvira here, Aurantia Argiopes, are utter cowards. Most people who have been near one have probably seen them do the little web bounce thing?
Trying to look bigger and scarier so you'll go away.
Then you find one that got knocked down by a storm and let her walk up on your hand where you learn that not only are they little scaredy-cat-spiders, they're also clumsy as hell.
Wobbly old lady spiders, need a little spider walker for her. Actually had to catch her a couple times when she tipped over. "Whoa, you ok there ma'am?"
She just walks from hand to hand, webbing me up in case she falls, once she realized I wasn't a threat she calmed right down and hung out. It was chilly outside so I think she liked the heating rock effect. Had to prod her before she'd leave and walk onto the bush where I put her.
