Spider Eyes!

[Cassandra]

I am also very phobic of spiders, but I have been getting better since I've gotten older. I recognize their benifits, so I try very hard to leave them alone if I find them outdoors.

Unless one is just obstinately blocking my path, I will go around and leave them in peace. However, if one gets on my person or in my house---well, they have crossed a line.

I've had some really huge black furry ones get into the house. They seriously have to go. I can't have things in there preventing me from getting from one room to the other. eeeek

I've never been afraid of spiders except for Black Widows. (bad experience as a kid. found out how far one can jump when you tease 'em with a stick)

I'm not going to hold 'em and oooh and ahhhh over 'em, I pretty much leave 'em alone. But until I moved to the South I knew what I was dealing with. NOW.........well, I keep my distance if I'm not sure. I didn't realize how many different bugs there are til coming south. HUGE BUGS!! EVERWHERE!!

Due to the sqeamish nature of some here

I won't tell what I just found in my compost bin. And it ain't spiders.

Black Widows ARE deadly.

About like a rattlesnake, I believe (only smaller). They are also stunningly beautiful spiders!!!

We have the wolf spiders in the house...I just call them Vorlon Spiders even though they look more like the Shadows from B5.

Funnel Web spiders reside in my rosemary and other low growing vegetation. I will occasionally toss a mealworm, cricket, or cockroach into their web just to watch them take it in. Spiders really are fascinating! And the mothers usually sacrifice themselves as meals for their babies.
