I know spiders are helpful in nature, but they creep me out a little. My husband is a "bug man", no not half bug, half man, he's a pest control technician, so, I don't kill spiders, at least I try not to. A week or so ago, when my son left for the bus stop, I noticed a neat spider web in our tree. It was big and the sun was reflecting off of it. The spider was still in it, he or she was little but the web was pretty big! I took some pretty cool pictures of it, which I will share one here with you.
Do you like spiders, or do the creep you out?

I do find Spiders creepy, lol!...This must be the year for them because everyone seems to be talking about the little guys.

Did you hear or read about the one Spider web found in Texas?....It was HUGE!...talk about giving you the willies!...ew!

I don't really kill them unless they are in the house at night. I have a cat so I don't want them to bite her, and I know she'd play with them.

Your web looks really neat...I'll go check it out.

I have come to like spiders. Where I live there are no venomous spiders or aggressive ones, so there is no reason to fear them. Because they help destroying other annoying insects, I consider them useful. That is why when my mother and sisters freak out because of a spider in the house and tell me to kill it, I don't.
Sometimes, if a spider is endangered, I take it on my hand and guide it to a safer place.

I don't especially like them. I don't mind them if they are outside but I can't stand them in the house. Hubby is terrified of them.

I'm not really a fan. Of course it depends on the situation. ..and how big the spider is. If I'm outdoors...they don't bother me...unless a big ones on me. Indoors it depends on how big the spider is. Daddy Long Legs don't bother me...I've let one crawl on me. I remember growing up, my dad would tell me to stop killing them...that they eat all the other insects in the house.

I like spiders. They are very interesting creatures. I can sit and watch one spin a web for hours.

Where I draw the line is when a spider that could potentially kill or make my dog very sick is in my house. If they are outside in a bush or a tree, I respect their place in nature even if they are poisonous because I can avoid them. They warn me with their bright colors, etc., or other appearance clues and I just walk the other way and do not disturb them. Most are non poisonous or non aggressive. Usually, I just try to get the spider outside, but on rare occasions there are aggressive and poisonous spiders in my house, occasionally I have to get them before they can harm my dog who is very curious about things.

There are only two poisonous spiders in the United States of America, The black widow and the brown recluse and the only bright colorful spot on the black widow is the red "hourglass on the underneath of the abdomen. These are the only spiders that are dangeroud t humans because of their venom.


myLot reputation of 92/100. houndsgood (597)   ranked 789 out of 1,309 in nature  3 years ago

I know. And I live in Florida, so the recluse and the brown and black widow are seen almost daily. Gotta watch for bright fiddles/violins...
Recluses are shy, but they do sometimes get into the house or the garage. Widows are a different story. And they are decieving because although the recluse is large enough for one to think is a threat, widows are often much tinier than the nature shows lead you to believe and many people think "that teeny spider can't possibly hurt me" and they would be wrong:(

I seriously hate spiders a lot..!
I cannot stand them..! Even if they are tiny and smallest one...still they get my hairs raised..!!
They freak me out, And any other 8 legged creature!!
Once because of just a small spider in my bathroom I rushed out of my bathroom shamlessly that was one of my embarrasing moment..!! lol
Spiders scare me lot.
BUt now whenever I see any spider around I straight away crush it to death. NOw yes that is cruel..but If I won't crush them out they will freak ME out..!
:)

I am known to hate spiders. Apparently my fear is not chronic.
I hgave been like this since a young child. Where we came from there were lots of poisonous spiders. Especially the redbacks were everywhere.
Last sunday I was bitten by a spider. I didn't see it, but my foot was very painful for a day, then by the next day a red patch had spread along my foot.
