I generally do not like being surprised by anything, whether a large spider or black widow, or a snake
Like if I am on a riding lawn mower trying to mow closely to and going around a dense leland cypress tree and the next thing I know there is a large but relatively harmless golden orb weaver right in my face, I F-CKING HATE THAT 🤣
And I'm not crazy about walking through an unseen web either (wtf was IN the web?!?!?)
On the other hand, when I have advance notice that I am approaching a spider, like on a walk in a nature setting, if it is something unusual like a "wolf spider" (don't even ask me how many different things go by this moniker) with a bunch of babies on its back, then I may stand over it and look more closely for a bit then continue on walking past it
