The fear you pick up from your parents (according to a study i read or heard about last week) comes from a subliminal fear that you pick up chemically when young - your parents may now have got over the fear or perhaps they, by protecting you from a spider transferred it. Fear of insects is also an evolutionary fear for children just as not liking green veg is (through avoiding being poisoned in an age before the modern) and i guess like green veg has to be unlearned.
