Are you scared of Spiders?

[Phill 1,287]

Spiders are ugly as hell, and creep me out. All those eyes *Shudders* 

[Nightfall Gloam 18,258]

Despite living in Australia, YES I AM!!!!*

*Provided they're big enough

I have Macro-Arachnophobia, basically, I scared of large spiders. I don't really like any spiders but the big ones scared the bejesus out of me.

[IronM17 5,373]

No, I am not. I know how important they are. For example, I had two spiders on my balcony last summer and I don't moved them away. They was the perfect natural gnat protection. As long as the spider is not in my bed or near of my bed, I have nothing against them.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Nope! Though I'll certainly avoid the venomous ones. I won't mind a tarantula on me. It may take a little time for me to get used to him on me due to sensory stuff...

[ShadOBabe 18,997]

Meh... I don’t particularly want them ON me, but if I’m 100% certain it can’t hurt me, I just let it live in my house.

I could probably be persuaded to hold something like a red-kneed tarantula. Their bites won’t kill you. The hole that their fangs leave would probably hurt you more than their venom would. But they’re pretty unlikely to bite. From what I understand, red-kneed tarantulas are very chill spiders.

I LOVE Lucas the Spider though...

 

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

That would be a big yes.  Tiny itty bitty ones don't bother me none. 

[Feather Spiral 1,892]

Silly, that's not how you spell "adorable but misunderstood natural insecticide".

[SparklingSquirrels 21,341]

Nah, I don't like it when they're in my house, but I'm not scared of them. Maybe if it was really poisonous...  

[Prospekt 11,018]

Depends on the spider. If it's smaller than my fingertips, I tend to not mind it. If it's a little bit bigger than that and it's in my house or dorm, then that's when I get a bit nervous.

Ironically, I've held a pet tarantula a couple of times, and I actually didn't mind that. It was kinda cute...

[Luigi 7,869]

I usd to be SEVERELY arachnophobic, but I overcame that fear with Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time when I was ten years old.

[Mystic Brush 103]

yes

brown stink beetles come to a close 2nd. Thank you Asia for bringing them to the north east of the USA. Lol

Not particularly, no.

 

But, just like any other bug, if they start crawling on me, I will totally flip out.

[碇 シンジン 27,431]

They are terrifying.usually if they found their way inside I can't stay in the same room

[Hierok 11,831]

If they are small there is no problem, but if they are as large as a wasp there might be a bit trouble, just like every other insect.

[shadowwarp940 1,303]

I'm utterly horrified by most spiders, except when it's the peacock spider, those are actually really cute and funny

 

[The Kaeya Simp 13,988]

I'm as scared of spiders as Twi is of quesidillias and snakes COMBINED and then some

[Phosphor 11,529]

I'm not, but I don't like spiders (or insects in general) in my house. I like Argiope spiders. Some get pretty big, and have a neat pattern. 

[The Recherche 29,968]

I don't particularly mind them, no.  As I have said in the past: "I would rather endure spiders and snakes than rats and mosquitoes."

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

I'm a spider murderer.

[Nsxile 26,941]

It depends on what type of spider it is tbh.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I used to be scared of them because there was some poisonous ones outside in my backyard before, but now I'm not afraid of them that much.

[Splashee 28,564]

We don't have any dangerous spiders here in Sweden, so I don't feel scared of them. However, I can be jump scared by the larger ones when they come running at full speed, from under the bathtub towards my feet!

[Clawdeen 14,105]

I used to be terrified of them up until high school. Ever since my one writing class this girl had wrote comparing the fact that she was different, an outcast and misunderstood to that of a spider.

As a bullied teenager It was so moving it lead me to work hard to try to get over my fear of them.

Flash forward years later and I quite like them now. In fact I like going out into nature and trying to take photos of them. 

The one thing I am still afraid of is Wasps/hornets. 

I’ve been stung by wasps

But nothing was worse than as a child being stung by a hornet. The pain. Oh the pain. 

[Tacodidra 61,160]

No, I'm not. The ones here aren't really dangerous, so that helps. I try to avoid touching them with bare hands, though – I actually managed to get bitten by one once, which didn't feel very nice, as you can guess.
