Can spiders be scared?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
I don't think they are 'smart' enough. They don't have emotions, just instincts.

No, spiders are dumb little nits, and don't have any capacity for any emotions.

They do react to natural instinct for survival, and if threatened, will run.

No, this is an intelligent question, and that is how humans learn. (I get asked this a lot)

Next spider you see in an orb wed walk up to it and in a loud sharp voice say HAY . It will jump like you would if startled .

yes

that's why they run away

yes, and yes.
