Have you seen a spider? They have tiny bodies and huge legs, and the way they move looks completely unnatural.

Probably the 8 legs and the 8 eyes and the fangs and the spider web which display intelligence. It knows you're there. And you know it knows. And it knows that you know that it knows.

I think it's ridiculous, especially if it's a little spider crawling along your floor trying to find shelter. How would you like it if a creature ten thousand times the size of you came along, went "eek!" when it saw you, and *squish*. Spiders just trying to survive like anyone else. If anything, people should be afraid of wasps, but they get a pass because they're cool looking. Imagine if wasps and spiders swapped bodies, and you had spiders flying around fvcking shiit up and little wasps crawling around and spinning webs.

That's something that would kill me to see, i've had many nightmares where my walls and ceiling are covered in spiders and in an even worse dream I was paralysed as they came for me. Thank science for Xanax!

I would never go in my basement ever again if that was down there.I've never had nightmares,but I imagine I will sometime.

I think its because of their shape. Humans seem to like animals more if they are furry and have four limbs.

I've heard there was a study done that found many other animals find the look of spiders unpleasant. Of course, I have no idea if this is true or not.

[QUOTE="Aquat1cF1sh"]

Anything with more than four legs just looks creepy in my opinion. But I'd rather touch a spider than this:

zeldaluff

AHHH WHHHHYYYYY

I came in expecting pictures of spiders, not that monstrosity!:cry:

There are lots of those things were I live. Move so fast and creepy too.
