Why are spiders scary?

spider plants are not scary and alive. if it turned into a moving spider we would be afraid even though it looks the same. daddy lonlegs are not scary and they fly and look like certain spiders that are thinner and weak.

it dont make sense. other bugs are scary. octopus and crabs dont look as scary.

Why are spiders scary?
spider, organism, mostly terrestrial, of the class Arachnida, order Araneae, with four pairs of legs and a two-part body consisting of a cephalothorax, or prosoma, and an unsegmented abdomen, or opisthosoma. The cephalothorax is covered by a shield, or carapace, and bears eight simple eyes. On the underside of the head (the cephalic part of the cephalothorax) are two pairs of appendages, the anterior pair called chelicerae and the second pair pedipalps, with which the spider captures and paralyzes its prey, injecting into it venom produced in the poison glands. The spider then liquefies the tissues of the prey with a digestive fluid and sucks this broth into its stomach where it may be stored in a digestive gland. Breathing is by means of tracheae (air tubes) or book lungs, or both. Arachnid book lungs are similar to the gill books of horseshoe crabs but are internal and adapted to a terrestrial habitat. Three pairs of spinnerets toward the tip of the abdomen produce protein-containing fluids that harden as they are drawn out to form silk threads. Several kinds of silk glands and spinnerets produce different kinds of silk used variously for constructing cocoons or egg sacs, spinning webs, and binding prey; other light strands are spun out for ballooning, or floating, the spiders, especially young ones, long distances on air currents. Spider silk is used for the cross hairs in certain optical instruments. Spiders live chiefly on insects and other arthropods; some large spiders ensnare and kill small snakes, birds, and mammals. Many are cannibalistic; the female may eat the male when courtship and mating are completed. Young, growing spiders can regenerate missing legs and parts of legs. Several species of spiders have bites that are exceptionally painful, or even dangerous to humans. Species of black widow spiders, which are found in the warmer parts of the world including the United States and S Canada, have a virulent neurotoxic venom. The bite venom of the brown recluse spider of SE and S central United States decomposes tissue, resulting in slow healing and sometimes leaving a sunken scar as large as a quarter. Among the more interesting spiders are the tarantula; its relative the trap-door spider, which ambushes its prey from a silk-lined burrow covered by a hinged lid; the orb weavers, which spin beautiful circular webs; and the crab spider, jumping spider, and wolf spider, named for their habits. Spiders are classified in the phylum Arthropoda, class Arachnida, order Araneae.
Reply:Mothers tell the children that spiders are bad, So they have a bad rep. to start with.

I myself think spiders are cool, I do a catch and release , from in my house to outside. I will admit I hate walking into a large web at night and getting web face.
Reply:They are scary only to some people. Usually the

people scared by them have been taught to do so

by the reactions of other people. There is no good

reason to be afraid of spiders. The few that are

dangerously poisonous should be respected and

not handled, but there is no reason to be afraid of

them to an extreme degree. Very few spiders are aggressive, so there is no danger of being

attacked by them so long as you haven't disturbed

them.
Reply:Spiders are not scary, people are afraid of them for no really good reasons.
