Lift up that lid...look under there! ahaha. Most spiders are nothing to be afraid of but the few that people should be afraid of are bad enough to give them all a bad rep I suppose.
I had a pet tarantula for a while and it was cool to watch.
But see a small one skittering across the floor and I go out of my way to stomp on it. I will hunt that son of a bitch down and kill it until it is d-e-d dead.
I had a relative get bit by a recluse. There was necrosis. And the widows are so poisonous it's ridiculous. They wont kill you, hopefully, but for a couple days you'll wish you were dead.
