Does Spider-Man (or Peter Parker) have a problem with real spiders? [closed]

Okay, so I know he can sense other spiders nearby in The Amazing Spider-Man, but is he bothered by them? I read somewhere that a lot of spiders attack other spiders quite frequently, some even going so far as to try to eat them, so I was just wondering if Peter were to see another spider, would he freak out? Would he instinctively kill it?

Apparently it's both human and spider instinct to kill another spider, so I'm thinking that he probably would, but I'm not positive. I'm mostly wondering about Tom Holland's version of Spider-Man, but any kind of answer would suffice.

There is nothing at all to suggest so in any of the cinematic incarnations so far, as while Peter clearly has a 'spider sense' I do not believe that he or any other humans have a 'natural instinct' to kill spiders (notwithstanding arachnophobes). Although many people do kill small harmless animals for no reason, I do not believe (or perhaps hope?) that it is a default setting of the human condition and as Peter is specifically shown time and time again to try and live up to the most selfless of his human values (which always trump whatever influence the spider DNA has on his personality) I would think that he is probably even less likely than most to be so unnecessarily cruel.

In Sam Raimi's Spider-man, there is a clear shot of wonder as Peter looks up towards a spider building a web in the alley, immediately prior to his realisation that he now posses the same abilities. He certainly does not go out of his way to kill it before attempting to crawl up the alley wall for the first time.

What happened to the spiders that bit Peter Parker?

Does Spider-Man have a connection with spiders?

Peter Parker's spider-based powers didn't originally come with the ability to talk to Spiders. He did gain spider-sense, the ability to climb and cling onto walls, as well as superhuman strength and durability. But, missing from his powers was the ability to control and communicate with arachnids.

Do real life spiders have spider sense?

Spiders are covered in tiny hairs called trichobothria which grant them their own version of the Spidey-Sense. These hairs, just like Spider-Man's, detect micro shifts and vibrations in the environment.
