Some good answers but I’ll add that creatures will often freeze because they don’t know if they’ve been spotted. It’s easier to detect something when it’s moving than when it’s still, especially if the thing has decent camouflage. You’ll never know how many spiders were right in front of you that you never noticed. But I bet you would have noticed if they suddenly scurried away.
It’s funny I read this today because last night I was laughing at a spider who had wedged itself half way under something so just its butt was sticking out. It probably knew some part of it was exposed but had no way of knowing if it had been spotted. I didn’t kill it by the way because many spiders are bros and I hope it’s helping me with my ant problem.
