Anyone here have Arachnophobia? 

Either way those webs are cool. Spider silk is just amazing!

I'm actually afraid of any spiders that don't have hair on them.

 

Not sure why. They really creep me out.

 

And those banana spiders, those are just too deadly so I'd be scared as heck from those too.

 

Tarantulas? Even the big ones? Those are cool.

 

Jumping spiders are really cute. Even the ones without hair are cute, I'm good with any jumping spider.

 

I like wolf spiders too

 

All those are fine with me.

 

Most spiders scare me too much. Not sure why the ones I listed don't, but heh.

 

Though I'm good at looking at them in pictures/videos and spiders in games never scare me at all. I just don't want to look at them in real life (besides ones I listed, that I'm completely fine with).

You should. The dangerous trap door spiders, recluses, widows, don't have any hair at all.


Species I keep:

 

1 Lasius cf. Neoniger 30 workers

1 Camponotus sp. 15 workers

20 Tetramorium SpE 30 workers

1 T. Sessile 200 workers

Recluses kind of creep me out, but I'm okay with looking at them even in real life. They are actually the only "dangerous" spider without hair that I'm kind of okay with.

 

Wonder why some spiders I'm okay with but others I'm so scared of, that I don't even want my shoe to touch them.

 

Its weird, lol.
