<p>I watched the first episode of <em>Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou</em>. It was a thrilling experience. However, it came to my attention that one of the monster girls is, in fact, a spider-girl. My tolerance for invertebrates - and in particular, for those with too many legs - is very low. So I stopped watching <em>MonMusu</em>. </p>

<p>In order to help me evaluate whether I will be able to tolerate watching the rest of the show, I would like to know how much the spider-girl appears in the show. Answer this however you would like; some parameters that would interest me are:</p>

<ul>
<li>When does she first appear? (i.e. are the first <em>n</em> episodes safe to watch?)</li>
<li>Is the show structured so that each girl gets her own block of episodes (like an "omnibus")? If so, which episodes are the spider-girl's episodes? (so I can avoid them)</li>
<li>If not, is the show structured in any other way that makes it easy to avoid the parts in which she appears? (e.g. multiple clearly delineated segments per episode?)</li>
<li>Roughly what fraction of the show following her first appearance has her appearing on-screen?</li>

[According to wikia](http://dailylifewithamonstergirl.wikia.com/wiki/Rachnera_Arachnera), the spider girl first shows up in Episode 6 and is a major character, so she probably shows up at least once per episode thereafter.

As mentioned in Torisuda's comment, Rachnera first appears in episode 6, but this is only right at the very end of the episode for a very short amount of time. It would be safe to say that the first 6 are spider free, the last one included so long as you turn it off right after Miia shows what she's made for dinner.

While the episodes aren't centred on one girl at each time, they all have an 'introductory episode' in which they each feature more heavily. In the case of Rachnera, this is the latter half of episode 7.

As for your other questions, I'll stick below what times she appears. The timings are taken from [Crunchyroll](http://www.crunchyroll.com/monster-musume-everyday-life-with-monster-girls).

### Episode 6

**21:18 - 21:23**, **21:32 - 21:35** and **21:40 - 21:50** for a total of **18 seconds** screentime. This episode should be safe to watch due to her lack of presence. The only information that you're missing out on by skipping the last few minutes is that

### Episode 7

**12:53 - 12:54**, **13:18 - 13:25**, **13:29-13:31**, in which

In which

> Rachnera and Miia climb up the side of the building the Smith and Kimihito are in, only to discover that the date is a ruse to attempt to lure out the sender of a threatening letter.

There's a nice Metal Gear Solid reference as Rachnera appears for the first time in this episode, if you can stomach a bit of spider-ness.

In which Rachnera
