Tiny ones? Black Widow-sized? Wolf Spiders that are small and fast? They <i>freak me out</i>. Tarantulas? I think they're awesome, and have let one crawl on me. Okay, that freaked me out a little bit, but not nearly as much as when a bigger one is on me. MacNut, I’ll tell you something that’s strange about me: Big spiders don’t bother me at all.

Funny how they congregate in your dog's water bowls. Gee, I wonder how all you arachnophobes would react to the likes of, say a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theraphosa_blondi" rel="nofollow">Goliath bird-eating spider</a>? As in meeting one face to face while out for a walk or something? Nice spider picture as always. Funny how they congregate in your dog’s water bowls.

There's something about the fact that I can see their face that makes them less ooky to me. Granted, she looks like she wants to eat my face, but only if I'm the only thing handy :-) Actually, I almost like wolf spiders more than other ones, and I’m borderline arachnophobic.

An Arachnoleptic Fit: The dance one does after walking through a spider web that clings to ones skin.

I'm overcoming my arachnophobia instinct, but for some reason, no matter how small, Wolf Spiders creep me out. Yeah.
