You forgot one. they are furry!
mariee666
They are so cute. There are way creepier “bugs” than spiders. Look up caterpillar parasitizing wasps.
StreetsAheadMemeDude
Sounds like something a jumping spider would say....
AcroCat32
I'm still cool with them despite one landing on my eyeball when I was checking to see if my glasses were clean.
SureYouCanDG
i hate touching the bastards but i respect life, so i catch and release
Dylzner
Good luck trying to hurt one anyways. Fucking nightcrawler teleportation levels

Dylzner
The one's where I live are tiny tiny, 2mm max, sized so basically since I was a child I have been amazed I can't see any of the jump action.
JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
Spiders are bros. Leave the spiders alone, and live a bug-free life.
serepta
I love differs in general and these fluffy ones gave personality Never hurt one please. Piece of paper to shu it away or cup take it outside
serepta
Spiders I meant spiders. Grrrrrr auto correct & me not checking before I hit send.
MiniatureDragon
Saved some of these little dudes at my grandmas house. One was trapped in a window and i had trapped it inside a cup. Let the smol boi free.

I mean how can you not love this wee guy? With his wee t-rex hands & tiny wee hairy legs, what a guy! And he does a housekeeping service! :)
mycatToastwasafatasshole
When I lived in an apartment we had a daddy long leg and lived in the corner of our living room. He at all the mosquitos. I miss him lol

All spiders are good and there's no reason to hurt any of them
Valirissa
Lucas the Spider has helped my daughter get rid of her fear of spiders. I actually find jumping spiders really cute now
dragonbolt
My rule is "Don't fuck with me and I don't fuck with you". These are no exception
TheAncientSea
Used to be my rule but after a few cases of cellulitis I know of caused by tiny spider bites I now kill them

Don't start none, there won't be none.

Same here, respect my personal space and you are welcome to chill in the corner. Unless you lay eggs, then you gots to go

I had eggs didn't realise till there was a dark moving patch in the corner....

You have your own tiny Tachikoma.

cyberJapeMaker
This looks vaguely familiar...
Titsonthewing
Tachikoma?
Pokegeologist
Hopefully it's not his OC. If it is, sorry. It was the first to turn up in the search I thought was super cute.
ReallyBadMemory
It looks like one of those Spider Sentries from Battleborn. One mission had one that thought he was actually a spider.
Pokegeologist
The Tachikoma are from Ghost in the Shell and predate Battleborn by quite a bit. The original movie and anime series are worth the look.
ReallyBadMemory
It looks like one of those Spider Sentries from Battleborn. One mission had one that thought he was actually a spider.

Ghost in the shell my dudes, this one specifically from the anime tv series

I worked at a garden center in pest control... found one of these guys hiding behind my desk plant... fed him named him Manuel and kept him

Robotics might be able to provide you with one for an affordable price in 20 years. For now you'd have to build your own and/or be rich.
EmperorWiggles
Looks like someone wants to be burned at the stake :3
EF5Cyniclone
I agree that seems like it would be cool, but that would change how viable humans are as a food source to them.
TrustMeIWouldntLie
Don't tell everyone my plan!

Probably wouldn’t end up too well, one of the main reasons they’re harmless is that we are so big to them that we are never a viable target.

The peace treaty has been signed. A momentous occasion in human-spider relations.
KevinCrossland
It's kinda cool, but also kinda shitty that now there's flies in all the ice cream
TheStoneMask
They're also the cutest spiders
DarkSock
They seem to be the most sentient of bugs.
prodygist
Part of that seems to be that they’re very visually observant, they have great eyesight compared to other spiders so you’ll see them looking
DarkSock
prodygist
Around more, they also have large eyes, especially the 2 forward facing ones.
GuyDarras
Yep, and they rely a lot more on that vision than web-building spiders which do things much more by vibrations. Mantises are the same way.

Unpopular opinion I know but all spiders are friends in my book.
rezpawner
Are you familiar with funnelwebs and redbacks?
CenturyChild92
I am indeed. Not species I would want to get close to by any means.
avervetmonkey
All spiders that can't/won't hurt me are friends in my book. Pet tarantula? Ok. Wild human-attacking venomous spider? RUN AWAYYYY
UncleB0b
I agree with you but with one exception: Red backs. If I find one of those in my garage or shed it gets squished
CenturyChild92
No doubt I wouldn't want to get up close and personal with one of those, I just think spiders and tarantulas are fascinating creatures.

hellyeah. Thank you.
IFindDelightInTheGruesomeAndGrim
That is damn adorable!
Velosh
As an arachnophobe these are the only spiders that are cool in my book, they're honestly cool cute lil' bros.
WhereCanYouSeeLions
The exact opposite. The very idea of a spider that can leap at me is a vision straight from my worst nightmares.
Corbenik42
They're too smart. Writing spiders are the only kind I tolerate (outside only) cause they have the decency to warn me of their webs
Bananasandwiches42
Same here. I had the cutest one hanging out on my car last summer; big boi. He was alright with me.
CatsAndNinjas
Yeah, but they fucking JUMP
TheIshvalan
as an arachnophobe, I am too terrified to kill a spider in general...
InquisitorOctaviusoftheOrdoMalleus
I've just managed to start killing them myself
LateNightBunnyParty
They chase laser pointers like a cat!
GayPeacock
What about Lucas the Spider?
Velosh
I mean, he's a jumping spider too so...
calamarionastick
every one i've ever seen up close leeroy jenkinsed itself at me, tiny hateful little bug eaters imho...just my 2 cents
ScarecrowSticks
You sound very grasshopper'y
RednapxpandeR
Too cute to hate on. And they kill other bugs.
n0o0o0o
Same, I can’t deal with most spiders, but these ones are fine
YoMissSpaceQueen
I love the way they look at you. Like “yo human, you alright for a mammal”
Velosh
They kind of do that head-cock thing that puppies do too so its easy to imagine that they're just curious.
Alixzander
Did the spider make you say that are you a spider blink 8 times if you need help
Velosh
So, if I need help I should blink each eye once?
Alixzander
Yes I'll help step closer to the bright light :)
l009
Same but if its a spider that eats other spiders, their bros to me also.
wellthisjustgotinteresting
I love all spiders, but I'm also arachnophobic. Checkmate atheists
beatingoffinfrontofapegasus
What about cat face spiders? I’ve only ever seen them chillin in their own web up in a corner. Just observing.
Velosh
I just searched them up and nope, no thanks.
Ashokaaa
I'm very proud of you for being able to be around your phobia and enduring it
InquisitorOctaviusoftheOrdoMalleus
I'm also okay with these guys and oddly Tarantulas and Golden Orb Weavers
KierCalhen
Seriously, I feel the same way. I'll straight up murder any spider but these ones.
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
They're all female in my head
Velosh
Female spiders tend to be the bigger of the two, but hey whatever works for you right?
ScarecrowSticks
There's a cure for arachnophobia, you're not going to like it
blameitonmyjuice
I'm have always been OK with tarantulas & anything similar. It's the MF'n house spiders that hide/move fast/I can't track that make me cry.
BadDragon1193
Let Black Widows crawl all over ya?
ScarecrowSticks
Just Johansen
TheIshvalan
if the "cure" is to play with/examine a spider up close, done that. Doesn't seem to work... would rather keep them as far away as possible
Saifury
No it's actually eating it, search up Hamish and Andy eat tarantula
TheIshvalan
just the idea makes my skin crawl...
ScarecrowSticks
That means it's working
ItsGeno
It’s a thing that needs to be done in a specific way under therapy
sfrinlan
So, we hold him down in an empty bathtub and pour spiders on him?
ScarecrowSticks
More or less
MicroJohnson
Yeah as someone who lived in a basement and found: 1 black widow, 14 Hobo spiders, 3 brown spiders, and many many various house spiders, 1/2
MicroJohnson
2/2 doesn’t help at all. That house was a fucking nightmare.
TheIshvalan
I had to help move things in a storage unit and my mom, who knows I fear spiders, simply says 1/2
ryanjoseph666
It doesn't happen all at once but i managed to go from a really bad arachnophobe to being able to hold some spiders. So i believe you can.
ScarecrowSticks
TheIshvalan
I've actually learned a bit by "playing" with a spider in a sink before... would not go near it if it wasn't stuck in the sink tho
Velosh
I'm also not going to do it.

They say desensitizing is the way but trust me if it was then our exposure to them would lessen our fear yet it doesn’t.
CompletelyOrginal
Fire? Is it lots of fire?
ScarecrowSticks
No.
mediocrejoker
Exposure :)
Tarmaccian
That’s what caused mine, so I think I’ll stick with a good mix of fire and, if there’s no fire nearby, screaming like a little girl.
ColonelColon
50% of the time it works every time
Rizzix
Can confirm. I started keeping tarantula's because I was sick of my phobia affecting my life. The more I learned about them, the more 1/2
Rizzix
2/2 fascinated I became. Hasn't yet completely gotten rid of my fear, but has certainly reduced the severity!
WaterLemons
To fire?
smorsdoeuvres
Honestly, these are the spiders that scare me the most- (they actively stalk & hunt their prey) but this makes them seem cute? TF?!
xane
I've never had a jumping spider descend in front of my face in the middle of the night.
FruitBowl
Because they're smaller than your finger... you're just a little bitch
ImGoingToGoFallAsleepOnABench
They ARE cute - you ever see them rub their little mouthbits together?
pluviofile
No venom, always tiny, have very large visible black eyes. Cute and not scary.
EF5Cyniclone
Well, they do have venom, it's just not medically significant.
EF5Cyniclone
They're exceptionally harmless, no known jumping spider species have venom medically significant to humans.
EF5Cyniclone
There are also no spiders that prey on humans in any way, we're far too big. Most are scared of us, sometimes jumping spiders are curious.
Hashbrown123
They are the cats of the spider world.
jiantjerd
With their big front facing eyes, a head that looks around quizzically, and furry bodies, they trigger our mammalian instincts.
jiantjerd
They make all other spiders seem cold and alien in comparison.
ninjaguineapig
Cats also stalk. They're cute
Elonth
Pandas also stalk and hunt their food dishes and they're cute and retarded.
BloodGoddess
Raptors also stalk. They're cute.
smorsdoeuvres
Yes. Cats aren’t venomous & they also don’t make webs. Bonus.
SweatyClams
But a cat could mess you up way more than that little cutie in the pic.
superseriouscomments
They could infect you with toxoplasmosis and cat scratch fever.
TheHawkRules
Yeah, but jumping spider fangs aren’t long enough to reach our blood. Also their venom doesn’t really do much but hurt in the bite zone.
JustAnotherImgurHuman
Majority of common house/yard spiders are not venomous. Webs catch mosquitoes, that's the real bonus.
smorsdoeuvres
It’s not the majority of household spiders & webs I’m worried about at all. It’s the venomous, jumping, active hunting & stalking bit.
wellthisjustgotinteresting
They're not dangerous to humans, is the point. Should the tallest mountain be afraid of the strongest man alive?
Akubarix
They're venomous, just not enough to harm us
maninthedarkness
So they are venomothem.
v
binkyboo
They may not be venomous, but my cat bit me while giving her meds, by that evening I had a red line running up my arm...yikes
smorsdoeuvres
Eesh. Sounds like a possible Staph infection? Those can happen quick. Bad news bears.
EF5Cyniclone
Yeah any time anything bites you it can result in infection.
littlepeanutt
Yup.. Thursday had to go to ER, got a tetanus shot and antibiotic.. that's what I get for saving his life! Crazy kitties
AmHumanNotLizardMan
Cats are also mammals which have domesticated themselves over 1000s of years. They have 4 legs (humans also very used to that for long time)
AmHumanNotLizardMan
and two eyes which don't look like bulbous black pits. They aren't also 80% leg. Humans also evolved to fear insects innately because so
AmHumanNotLizardMan
many of them can be extremely venomous or spread disease or just plain painful.
Foxolotl
They are far from the only spiders that hunt prey, they just happen to be small and fluffy. Now Google huntsman spiders for large and scary.

They stalk, they're fuzzy, big eyes and they chase laser pointers? So basically they're just very small cats.
EF5Cyniclone
Those who keep them as pets like to call them octokittens
Colopty
Just one more box they need to check: Will they bite upon the slightest provocation?
LateNightBunnyParty
They tick all the boxes for being cute.
