I dont mind big animals that really are dangerous
But anything small that could never possibly hurt me i'm terrified of.
I act all hard and go "I'm not scared of spiders" then go and hide in another room

Living in Arizona, I don't mind spiders so much...it's these bastards that I hate:
I had issues with these buggers in the Sahara but it was the spiders with the 6" long legs, body 2" wide and crab like claws that scared the life out of me. The hairs on thier legs were almost an inch long FFS.
Not as bad as the twin horned vipers though.
And they say you are lucky to work abroad..........
I've lived in place where you'd have tarantulas climbing the **** into your apartment.
How do link my photos on here you ******* disbelieving cocksuckers?

Seen a few images of the Orb spider eating a bird. The birds are very small though, so it's not like it's just grabbed a sparrow.
The happy spider ?
The most feared spider of them all .... The Squirel spider.
Coconut crab anyone ?

An article about women n spiders
Women who run for cover when coming face-to-face with a spider have been offered a new explanation for their phobia: it is in their genes.
Research at a US university found females associate the eight-legged critters with fear more than males, most of whom react with indifference.
Psychologist Dr David Rakison from Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University tested 10 girls and 10 boys, all aged 11-months, with pictures of spiders to see how they reacted.
He showed them images of a spider next to a fearful cartoon face and a spider next to a happy face.
Dr Rakison's report, published in the New Scientist, states that the girls looked at the picture containing a happy face for longer than the scared one.
However, the boys looked at both images for an equal amount of time.
Men are less likely to fear spiders
He concluded that the girls found the happy face puzzling as they were expecting to see the spider paired with a frightened face.
The psychologist said these tests show that girls have a genetic predispostion to fear the arachnids in contrast with boys who do not.
"The experiments show that female 11-month-olds - but not males of the same age - learn the relation between a negative facial expression and fear-relevant stimuli such as snakes and spiders," Dr Rakison reported in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior.
He linked the difference in results to our hunter-gatherer ancestry when he says women had to be wary of dangerous animals to protect their children, whereas men used more risky behaviour in order to be successful hunters.
Past surveys have shown that almost 6% of the population have a phobia of snakes and around 4% are scared of spiders.
However, women are around four times more likely to be affected than men.
Men now have no excuse but to help a woman in need when next summoned to remove an unwelcome visitor from the bath.
Its all down to the Genes

Whenever I go for a poo, or a sit down wee, I always double check under the toilet seat.
I could think of nothing worse than a spider crawling on ones tadger; or - even worse - along ones crackpipe while mid-dump.
I also have a phobia about a witch reaching her long spindly hand around the U-bend and grabbing my gonads.
But that's a story for another thread (or preferably the psychiatrists couch).
