Why are spiders more scary than sharks?

Why are spiders more scary than sharks?
Think the title says it all....

Given the amount of damage each creature can do, and one is our predator, why the imbalance??

Because we do not live in the sea.

Spiders are NOT more scary than sharks. Spiders, if treated properly, are our friends. Sharks are utterly terrifying.

That's of course your opinion.... and my wife would disagree massively with you...

And if I never go in water, sharks are pussies!!!

I should think it was real hard to kill a shark with a rolled up newspaper.

I'm a surfer in No. Cal. Plenty of sharks (so they say). I've never feared sharks. I LOVE spiders. I'm not sure I... never mind... Carry on.

You clearly haven't seen the 'Sharknado' documentaries.

Sharks don't crawl in and out of your mouth while you sleep.

Seen plenty of sharks while scuba diving - they're not nearly as threatening as you might expect. On the other hand, moray eels and stonefish I give a lot of respect to. Morays because they're hostile and capable of doing real damage, and stonefish because they aren't hostile - but they look like damn rocks and have extremely poisonous spines.
