Wonderful. I'm going to go scrub that image out of my head with bleach now....

[Paravin]

It's my goal in life to kill every spider I see. Disgusting.

[Tricky D]

goddamn I hate spiders

[scream09]

Spiders with thin legs are scary but if they have thick legs I'm not afraid of them. lol :-D

same. I don't mind small spiders, but anything the size of a black widow or up creeps me out, especially the ones that have the massive bodies and abdomen, then thin long legs, and tarantulas are really the only spider that size that don't creep me out, mainly because of their proportions.

[Scoooby]

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhdjkfghkdshfsldjfls.
Fucking scary.

same, Tarantulas are the only spiders that don't make me shiver, but I still wouldn't like one on my wall...

For my art GCSE I made a spider inspired by this
[IMG]http://catherinebray.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/louise-bourgeois-spider.jpg[/IMG]

Of course, it was only a foot high, and made of wood and cardboard (body wise, fabric for the hair)
The drawing the idea originated from was of one of these

However, to show some of the greatest aspects of a spider, I added hair to it.
Oh, and the art project was based on beauty. Yup, beauty. I made a huge hairy spider for my beauty project.

Kill it! kill it with fire!

[Sphinxa279]

I clenched my fist ready to punch that black widow, until I realised it was on my screen... :sigh:

OK, I think I'm going to get a Chilean Rose hair. Do you know if Petco sells them? That's the only pet store near here.

[Zero-Point]

Petco, probably not. I guess that'd depend on your region, though. I've been to one that sold small reptiles and amphibians before, but no spiders.
Speaking of tarantulas, I decided to bug one of my 8-legged neighbors this afternoon, and they actually came out to say hi.

We had a class pet in Bio last year. He was a rose tarantula. His name was Darwin :3:.
At the end of the year there's this one kid who has an absolute OBSESSION with bugs took him home as a pet. He sees someone step on an ant he gets all upset. Once he was over at my house and we were playing outside. My mom comes out and points a can at a pile of dirt. We run over to see what she's doing and the pile of dirt turned out to be a big ant hill. My friend was having a panic attack and then my mom unloaded the can and he went crying home.
Nowadays its not too severe but he still has a thing for bugs. We aren't so good of friends anymore but we still see each other in school.

Sounds like the guy from men in black, but ants instead of cockroaches. and spiders aren't bugs

[FreezingStorm]

Great, now you guys got me looking in every corner of my basement whenever I go down there.

[Spider]

Awww shucks guys.

[Raptros]

We love you Spider

[StormHammer]

I almost killed a daddy long legs by accident today, but I spotted him in time and picked him up and set him safely outside in the bushes :3:

[crackberry]

I hate spiders with a fiery passion. But, if we didn't have them, we would be literally drowning in insects.

[Porn0graphix]

I dont mind spiders myself.. But when it comes to Camel Spiders.. EEK!

best bug ever, they eat mosquitos, small flies and male ants.

i remember i had a coffee jar with a huge-ass huntsman, i found a smaller one and they fought to death (the smaller one died)

a week later the big one had made a huge egg sack, and i opened the jar and let it and it's children go near a pond at a nearby school. :3:

I actually witnessed a spider performing an interesting (and related) behavior the other day. A jumping spider was trying to go across a gap he couldn't jump, but since the wind was blowing that direction he turned around, stuck his ass in the air, and let out a string of web. Once the web made contact with the side he wanted to jump to, he crawled across it. :science:

[QUOTE=Mindtwistah;23738538]Oh god. Spiders.
I have an extreme case of arachnophobia. Every time I see a spider I start panicking and I usually just run like hell.
Good thing there aren't many large spiders in Sweden, but we do have plenty of Opiliones (those yellow spiders that look like balls with huge legs). Although Opilions lack the ability to create poison, they still freak me out. Sometimes, when there's one on the door to my house, I just stand there for 10-20 minutes wondering if it's worth it to just quickly unlock the door and rush it. :ohdear:

Edit: Here's what they look like

[haloguy234]

I don't mind spiders if they're chilling on my wall and just moving around. It's when they're on my desk, or near a place that I need to go/on something I need to touch that I start to get a heart attack.

Hate
Spiders

[ForestRaptor]

There was a somewhat large, orange spider outside our window yesterday. I wonder if it's still there.

[cathal6606]

I do not appreciate spiders. There is at least 20 medium-large ones crawling around my bathroom.
