my guess: some people have had bad experiences with creepy crawly things. some haven't. bugs, when you think about it, don't look very threatening--they're small and in a fight of human vs insect the human should win most of the time.
snakes, on the other hand, are inherently scary looking. if you show a picture of a snake, mouth open, to a 2-yr old kid, the kid will instinctively be frightened. (I know there has been some study associated with this...)
i'd be very curious to hear that there is someone who is scared of spiders but not of snakes. do you actually know someone like this?
