Funny how we are comfortable with certain insects because we have grown up with them over the years. We have plenty of gecko's which I enjoy as they scurry around on the ceilings catching mosquitoes and do a real good job. We were in the bush at one time and at night in our lodge we had a fluorescent green spider come down from the rafters and he just looked dangerous so he was thrown outside.

I feel the same about the geckos, and would react similarly to you around the brightly colored spiders. For some reason geckos have never bothered me, even before I realized how helpful they are with mosquitos. The brightly colored spider would have certainly set off some alarm bells with me though, and I would also try to relocate him if possible. I think there are some survival instincts passed down from our ancestors, and we can still subconsciously recognize threats, even if we really don't know the particulars of a certain species.
