First off, I said that I luckily did not see the pic, so I did not know if it was a photo or just a drawing/cartoon.

And second, please do not be inconsiderate towards people who are arachnophobic or have an extreme phobia/fear. Even if the picture was indeed a drawing or anything, I might still be scared of it because I even get scared of a CG spider in an of ad of magazines. And yes, it is very likely to have nightmares even through seeing a mere photo or drawing of what you fear; people who are coulrophobic (afraid of clowns) cannot even stand seeing a cheerful sketch of a clown because they'll burst into tears or start having a fit. So, if you don't understand how this feels, I would not be so quick to criticize.
