Counterargument: the big ones are much easier to notice and squash. It’s the tiny fucker that just slipped under the collar of your shirt without alerting you that you need to worry about.
I’m sure that itch you just felt was all in your head.

I’m with you on this. But I wonder at what point you draw the line. A spider the size of a watch? A spider the size of a car? At what point do we prefer the smaller spider?

I’ve read dinner plate is the metric when shoes no longer work and so that’s the standard

I heard bananas. Maybe banana-sized leg is where we draw the line?

With increased size comes a reduction in mobility, increased difficulty in reproduction and maintenance of life. And an increased perception in them being a threat.
A car sized spider would be pretty much immobile, and by that size, a tactical target that would be fairly easy to hunt to extinction.
The bigger the better.

Yeah but not in video game or movie physics, which I assume is what we are talking about in this theoretical scenario.

At what point? At all the fucking points, what the fuck is wrong with you people in this thread?

I let good spiders roam around my house and kill the annoying blood-sucking bzzzs and other nuisances I don’t live in Australia though

I always just catch them with a box and let them out outside. Our family always did. I’m always stunned at people killing them.
