>problem is I worry its too icky and creepy for most readers
Make it a jumping spider. Look them up, most people find them adorable. They're tiny, they have big eyes (and can see very well), they're not scared of humans, they're intelligent for their size (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2016/01/160121-jumping-spiders-animals-science/)), they will actively chase their prey instead of waiting and relying on webs, they don't have long, thin legs that resemble a corpse's dried up limbs... overall, most people like them, even if they hate spiders in general.
