Because a fear of spiders helped our ancestors survive millions of years ago.

Researchers who have examined this dread of spiders disclose it to be an aftereffect of evolutionary selection. This implies Arachnophobia (fear of spiders) is an evolutionary response, since bugs, particularly the venomous ones, have dependably been related with contaminations and sickness.
