There is a Russian (Eastern European? Slavic?) superstition against kill spiders. You can kill insects all day, but you don’t kill spiders. You just leave them be.

I'm Russian and I don't remember anything like that, so even if it is Russian it's fairly obscure

Yes, killing spiders is a bad omen in Lithuania. Usually they're simply thrown out. Not sure how many people does this nowadays but it stuck with me.
