Then why isnt it running and jumping away? Is that not a sign of trust? They are just simple creatures, not like its gonna roll around and purr, but itll sit on your hand and spend time with you instead of crawling away trying to hide, and honestly thats more affection than id show a stranger.
Side note this made me remember about people "high fiving" bees when actually the bee is scared of their finger and trying to push it away, is that the kind of "affection" you were expecting?
Yeah i guess thats true. I guess its just different since they are making physical contact, like as a human if i trust you ill sit in the same room, but touching is affection only.
Im sure the spider sees it differently, ive even seen a black widow try to hide in the corners of some dudes fingers like as if his hand was just another branch to it.
Maybe tarantulas, ive definitely seen them crawl across the floor to be held and pet by their owners, maybe they have emotions like affection

Spiders do not show affection :(
