I don't hate them. I respect them at a distance:shock:

Nice shot.


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

The spider caught something last night and he is still struggling to wrap it up. I am going to try and snag a few more shots.

I hate spiders to. I use to kill them if they came near me, but I'm learning not to freak out now. This may sound stupid, but I have a plastic cup in each room of my house so when/if I see a spider I can put the cup over it. Once I work up the nerve I'll try slipping a piece of paper or cardboard under the cup so I can pick it up without dropping the spider, then I let them go outside. They still gross me out, but I thought it was silly that I'm as big as I am and terrified of a little itty bitty spider! :o

You would really hate spiders if you were a male spider. The females are usually much larger than the male. After he has impregnated her she will often kill and then eat him. Now that is something to hate.

Good thing human females do not act the same way..:shock:
