Oh I understand. It’s more of a reflex instinct than anything else.
Case in point, I have a lot of spiders around the outside of my house. The other day I was trying to examine a flood light that was not working correctly, and of course there are a lot of webs (and cobwebs) around it. I go to step up, and in a split second I noticed I’m literally face to face with a spider in a huge web. If I had taken one more step, we’d have been kissing.
As much as i fear spiders, I am usually ok with being in their presence – assuming I can readily avoid them if need be. But this time, well, it was very upsetting to me. Maybe to it too, because by the morning it had packed its web up and left. 🤣
It’s kind of funny you mention that because some of the worst injuries caused by spiders that generally avoid humans are the startling reactions to seeing one where you’re not expecting one, like while on a ladder or even driving. Don’t mistake my meaning of advocating for these spiders, I’d be suepr freaked out too. It’s hard to have any other kind of first reaction.
