I like spiders, as long as they are the only creepy crawlers I see in my house I am cool with that and don't crawl into bed with me. They eat other insects.
Spiders are not insects, they are arachnids. The most obvious difference is that insects have six legs, while arachnids have eight. Closer examination shows that insects have antennae, while arachnids do not. Arachnids eyes are singular, though many have more than two. The majority of insects have hundreds or thousands of eyes, arraigned into compound structures.
Putting animals in the wrong grouping is a bothersome to me as calling my self loading, semi-automatic FAL a machine gun.
As for spiders in the bed, years ago a friend and his wife purchased their first home. One the first night in the house, one of the resident spiders must have taken a great liking to my friend, and joined he and his wilfe in their bed to give her personal welcome on a particularly "sensative" part of my friends anatomy.
To this day, he still hates spiders with a passion.
