Reply to comment by SpacemanSpiff312 in The fact that Cats are far more dangerous than Wolf Spiders, yet we love them far more and are far less afraid of them, says a lot about how humans value physical appearance in creatures by Run_MCID37

Plus, cats are capable of displaying affection and bonding with us, a spider doesn't work like that.

We should do a rebranding campaign. Rebrand "jumping spiders" as "hugging spiders."

I had a jumping spider end up inside in a small container that had seeds in it moments prior, I popped the lid on so I could finish planting before releasing him outside (yes I was gardening inside - it was brisk outdoors ok) and watching him in there was so interesting.

I got my camera out and took some videos and pictures of him and after assessing his situation in the container and realising he was trapped for the time being, he started taking in the greater surroundings and looking at me and the camera, it was wild. Jumping spiders are so cool! Such inquisitive little guys.
