It's just that they have so many legs, and they're just so, well, creepy looking.

But one worker wouldn't let aesthetics or his own heebie-jeebies get in the way of an animal's right to live, writing an absolutely adorable note to his fellow colleagues.

The note to his colleagues

'DO NOT KILL THIS SPIDER!' the worker wrote on a post-it.

'His name is Fred and he eats the Gnats in the office. He's a pretty chill guy.'

'Party hard, Fred,' he signed off with.

According to the author of the note, he was asked to kill the arachnid when he came into the office that morning, but just couldn't bring himself to do so.

Fred may look small, but he is important. OK? Long live Fred the spider.
