Anybody else HATE spiders ?

[Gorn Captain]

I hate spiders with a passion. Several years ago, a brown recluse bit me and did major damage to my leg.

And no spider-powers, right?

I guess because I grew up in a house surrounded by woods, I became accustomed to seeing spiders and snakes all the time so I'm not scared of either.

I don't particularly enjoy picking them up but don't get scared to death of them either.

As long as they are not poisonous I don't mind spiders.

I hate them. And I'm afraid of them. The only cool spider is a dead spider. Except for superheroes with spider themes.

Love them, they are nature's pest control. We have one teeny one living on the window sill in the kitchen that seems to be getting his fill of sugar ants.

I love spiders, and like Jessica...I owned tarantulas as well.

They are great predators, they keep the bug population down.

[MegoGeekJr]

I don't hate them or love them, but I just wish they didn't go near anywhere we go.

Bill, that is such a cool spider! I would love to photograph something like that. How large was it? It's so beautiful!

They're pretty tiny. The biggest one might reach an inch wide.

I don't hate spiders ... I can't say I enjoy them crawling on me or anything lol.

the other night I woke up and I'm not sure what kind it was but it's common around here but for some reason over the past few years, they have been growing about twice as big. So from leg to leg they've been getting close to 3 inches wide ... the body is about 1/4" wide. having that right next to my head first thing in the morning wasn't the greatest thing, but I just got a jar and moved him outside. Of course it might be different if we had the poisonous ones around here ... but worse thing we get might be a red welp mark.

We have tons of mosquitoes so I love spiders. These little guys always get in the way. I move them and they just rebuild right in the most annoying spots.

Cool photos Jess!!!

Indeed!!! Great shots, Jessica!

I love Spiders!!! However, I hate spider-webs and I'll dance like I am Coyote Ugly if I walk through one.
