Spiders!

[callie]

Thank you!!! I am the same way. I can not stand spiders at all! They must have some kind of sense that I am terrified of them too because whenever I see one I will run in a different direction and they always seem to go toward me instead of away. I scream every time I see a spider. Thank God for my husband because he is my knight in shinning armor who kills them for me. My fear of spiders runs deeper than the average person because I have been bit many times by spiders on my face (typically on the eyelid) as a child and even as an adult. The last time a spider bit me on the eyelid I had a super bad reaction to where my face swelled all up and nothing but antibiotics from the doctor took the swelling down. I always know it was a spider and not some other bug because I will typically find a spider near or on my bed soon after a bite. I hate spiders!!!! I would rather have frogs, lizards, and birds in my room eating insects than having to have a spider in my house.

Personally, I try not to kill them, especially when outside. I was splitting wood early last summer and found this young lady stomping around on the splitter. If you google "fishing spider" you can find out more about her. She is actually carrying her egg sac in her fangs. She will carry it up into a tree, and then find a nice spot to wrap leaves and web around it to create a nursery for them. (See also "Nursery Web Spiders.")
