I think everyone fears only one thing: Death
Regardless of whether or not the spider/other creature is poisonous or not in reality, in peoples' imagination they all are.
So yeah, if you have an irrational fear, try to link it to death, then use it as an excuse. No one can blame you for being afraid to die.
I'm not afraid of death, but please do it quickly
I just don't want to suffer
.
I just read in France there are around 15 case of death each years because of wasp.
I'm afraid of being spiked by bees not because it can kill, but because it "could" hurt. I actually never been attacked but I still fear them.

Not so much afraid of them, as I am acutely aware of the possibility of evil lurking beneath the makeup.
Also slightly afraid of mascot type figures, example: The Burger King freaks me out.
