I like spiders too!
As usual, with autumn approaching the spiders here are getting fat:
But still they are only one inch across, if at all. Jumping spiders are smaller still, but amazing to wath when they move. Have never been able to get a picture, I think it is already a wonder I got those two with a simple phone camera.
I have a live and let live relationship with arthropods in general, so long as they’re not too close to my tender bits, but I definitely prefer spiders to their prey, within my house.
That gives my smilie emoji a different feeling.

Spiders are great. Anything that eats any member of Order Diptera is a friend.
Orb weavers are OK, wolf spiders are neat, but I really like jumping spiders. We had a series of them at the back of our mailbox over the course of a few years until some idiot kids sprayed shaving cream inside.
