Some are even social have varying personality from more docile to more aggresive. There is a spider that eats from a plant instead of just insects. IIRC, the scarlett legged jumping spider hunts other spiders.

    I personally don't fear spiders but I don't want as a pet either. I don't like them crawling on me as it is so soft that it actually tickles but being bitten when I discover it. It is not really a hate, why hate something that has done nothing to you, but a fear. Spiders are small, can scare you if encountered unawares, are weird insect-like creature but not an insect and we humans don't know much about them other than they do bite, As I said we humans fear them not hate them. Like mice small, quick and can be unexpected encounter! We know they will kill so that is to be feared.

    I've spun silk hanks on a drop spindle before. It's so incredibly soft and fine. It will snag on your fingerprints if you aren't careful. And it sucks up dye like its drinking from a straw. It's no wonder silk is so prized!! I do reccomend it as a hobby btw. Spinning anything is so soothing.

    I believe the currently oldest spider types are the tarantulas and they are sheet web spiders. This makes sense because Tarantulas don't use their webs to catch prey but merely to alert them when prey steps it. They then run out of their lair and ambush the prey.

The happy thing is that a spider has been living down by my kitchen floor and catching a good portion of these things.

I'm not afraid of them anymore, but I have a rule that they can live in my house, as long as I don't SEE them. They can make their webs, eat gnats and go about their lives, but don't let me see you little guys and don't be within 3 feet of me. We can co-exist that way lol.

    Creatures with built in creation abilities are indeed fascinating, unfortunately they're only somewhat pragmatically intelligent. I've seen web-making spiders wrap strands around a recently dead beetle in order to pulley it up into the nest and keep it as a sealed snack. But besides things like that, they don't understand doors, mirrors, and definitely don't work together even in the ideal circumstance they're all well fed enough to live in a community. Makes me wonder if their abilities actually deprive them of the selective pressure for higher intelligence.
