Arachnophobia

In the early morning hours, I was pondering spiders. With the first snow today, I knew there would be lots of spiders trying to make their way into my home. I just haven't got an appreciation for spiders...I do know they eat bugs, and that's great...but why did God make that whole realm? Why not make birds herbivores and make plants self-pollinating and just plain skip the creepy crawlies? I wish I knew God's reasons because then maybe I wouldn't get so perturbed and jumpy when I'm in my basement.
