i would love to photo a tarantula up close, im not really scared of any, as long as you respect them, they will see no reason to attack to defend themselves

that looks like a mix between a dragonfly and a mosquito. You have odd dragonflies there man.

But yea I feel ya. I HATE anything resembling spiders in any way. Dunno why, but I just do. I just dont like the long legged scuttle-ly thing that they do and jumping isnt cool either.

Anything such as caterpillars, dragonflies, bees, wasps, etc. I can deal with though.

UGgg... It sucks.


I am Henry. NOT Hank. And certainly not a length of rope tied in a knot. ;)
My family calls me Hen, but you can call me Chicken. See you out there!

Man I used to be freaked to hec of Spiders- but then I held a Tarantula at the Butterfly farm and I also started wanting to photo them so just accepted them- luckily in Britain (Scotland mainly lol) there aren't too many dangerous spiders...
Holding the Tarantula was awesome; well sort of lol - you really do see the beauty, sometimes... massive fangs man
I still flinch even what like a fly buzzes to close to my head; but just coz I don't want one in the eye or mouth :lol:
Nice to see you're conquering the fear- it's well worth it- especially when you're a Macro photographer lol
