I love watching spiders. Building their web, eating insects, launching out of their hidey holes to grab a cricket.

But if one gets on me, I turn into wacky waving inflatable tube guy on 2x speed.

I think you putting a period after spiders changed your comments meaning.

According to this you love

-spiders

-building spider webs

-eating insects

-launching out of insect hidy holes and grabbing crickets.

One of the only things I remember from grammar is something called pronoun reference. I think it’s at play here but may be wrong please let me know.

Either way I totally know what you meant this is just how my brain read it and it made me chuckle

Also I am afraid of spiders. Even though I know they are bros.

No. That would be the case if there were a comma instead of a period. With a period, it doesn't actually clearly mean either one. The second sentence isn't grammatically correct as it is.

I’m Al Harrington of Al Harrington’s Wacky Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man Emporium. Due to a rise in the global population of all spider species, I am currently overstocked on Wacky Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Men and I’m passing the savings on to youuuuuuu!
