For me it’s just the sudden movement in my periphery that startles me and might get a yelp… But as soon as I realize it’s just a spider, I usually let it chill.

Oh, I 100% understand that. Wanted to try handling a tarantula in a German pet shop, nearly feinted (knees got weak the instant I registered her on my skin, and I could tell she was not in any way aggressive…).
On the other hand, I’ve had one of those massive cockroaches sniffing around on my face, and not even a twitch. I seldom understand my brain.
