That thing does look big. I imagine it would definately make me jump if I saw it dashing across the sand toward me.

Had a wolf spider come in out place a couple years ago. That alone gave me the creeps. Until I decided to learn more about the then deceased (thanks to a well placed stomp) spider. Then I'm not so creeped out. I will avoid any poisonous ones but most of them don't creep me out to much. Education is the best weapon against fear.

My daughter (almost 4 yrs) thinks spiders are cool - her reasoning - they eat mosquitos.

Funny you should say that... Somewhere else a guy posted his account of being bit by one, and the ensuing swelling in his face. It was scary

If I even ever saw one, even remotely close to my house, let
alone inside of it, I'd move as far into Northeastern Canada as
I possibly could.
I was moving rocks at a camp without gloves one time, and flipped over a particularly large and heavy one by reaching to the far edge and pulling it towards myself...on the other side was a black widow who's abdomen was easily the size of a quarter, sitting on the rock two or three inches from my fingers...we caught it in a snapple bottle and brought it to the Nature Lodge, where they killed it and encased it in lucite, cuz it was the largest black widow they'd ever seen.

I found a Black widow in my car once


I then sold the car, never riding in it again.

We only have Brown Recluse spiders up here. Nothing more poisonous than that and nothing bigger than a wolf spider I believe. I'll take the cold over spiders and roaches any day.

Big ugly. even the 10 miles an hour that they do run at is still really freaking fast. If i woke up on morning with one of those things on my chest i'ld freak the heall out and shoot the thing until all that was left was a stain on the side of my tent. then i'ld burn the tent

Insects bug me.
I'm glad that I live in a cold enough area that I don't have to worry about them for 9 months of the year.

Black Widow's are so beautiful. I love the shiny black carapace and how the legs go into a sharp point. Oh, and gotta mention that tell-tale ominous red hourglass.

These spiders look demonic, though: http://www.rochedalss.qld.edu.au/spider/purseweb.htm (worksafe link)

I may like them but if one jumps on me I still freak out and get the jeebies.
