# This is EXACTLY the only type of spider I ever have a problem with,
I'm not exactly phobic, they just give me major creeps, but only this kind, all others, fine, they're just bugs.

Gone itchy just lookin at that...

# I am ok with them, and most spiders,
the ones that really freak me are the little ones. I don't trust that I can't see their face....

# I kno what you mean
I don't mind spiders but these black house spider fuckers give me the willies.

I had one crawl across my foot while I was on the bog the other day

what a cunt

# I think spider phobia is something vaguely sexual, I know everyone will prolly think that sounds nuts,
but I had a go at drawing what I felt rather than saw once and it was quite disturbingly like rape fear, like being in the same room as an unknown naked man and not knowing their intentions.

Hairy legs, hairy torso shaped body, motion like a person moving with barely concealed stealthy hidden intent, and then stops when it thinks you see it, stays still till you stop looking, then starts creeping in a 'feely' way again, like the hand of a blind man looking for someone but not wanting them to know.

Anyhoo, wish I still had that drawing, it explained it all much better...

*edit* I thought that white naked eyeless monster in Pan's Labyrinth hit similar triggers too, it was one of the few in recent movies that genuinely did disturb me.

# plus it's fear time for the spiders too, loads of them get swallowed every year by sleeping people

Thanks for that.

# The big problem i have with spids...
is not knowing if they're native, or something that came from a banana box delivered to tescos.

See, if I knew for sure it was a local, and therefore not about to leap at my face dripping deadly necrotising venom, i'd have no worries. But as it stands, i just take of and nuke them from orbit (well, ok, splat them with a rolled up newspaper). It's the only way to be sure.

# Well if you want the fear,
Wolf Spiders are jumping spiders.

They are now native.
