Thanks deep look and Dr. Walls. I heard that some people don't like spiders because the way spiders walk give them the creeps. I used to be afraid of spiders so I started watching spiders a lot and once I got used to how they walk I was no longer scared I also noticed the same thing you did, spiders do not just randomly attack. They are just chill and are very curious and just examining their surroundings or looking for food.
