Aka spider alien (alien - “a hypothetical or fictional being from another world” / “a foreigner, especially one who is not a naturalized citizen of the country where they are living”). Only 0.5% of all spider species are potentially dangerous to human beings, but we as people tend to categorize all of them as harmful. We develop phobias about them based on how they look and based on what we know about a minimal portion of them. Spiders also generally do not attack humans unprompted and will only bite in acts of self-defense. Regardless of how they present themselves and try to integrate within our world, the way they are viewed is not changed.
