On joining this group, im not sure if any1 here is really arachnophobic. Im shocked there is a gallery! Any1 with a real phobia wouldnt be able to even take photos of u-know-whats, much less upload the pics 2 a flippin gallery ffs! I cant even think of looking in there, i feel sick already! :(

Im trying to come to terms with my fear. Right now im just happy to stay behind the camera.

i hate them cause they ugly hate the big ones im getting chills thinking bout them. if theres one of those hunstmen on the wall i wont spray them as they drop and run and hide and hate squishing them cause i dont wana get close. yuk eww

A gallery oh no i couldnt look at that! I HATE spiders i dont know why but they freak me out big time. I need one of those spider catching things on a pole.

I only joined for the pictures.

One day while installing a new phone line in my old house I had to crawl underneat the house to run the new line. Half way to the side where I had the new line waiting I stoped because I got that feeling something was looking a me. Turning around with the flashlight, all I saw were what I thought to be clumps of dirt. Still suspisious, I turned the flashlight to another direction. Sure enough those 'clumps of dirt' started toward me again. Realizing they were actually a batalion of wolf spiders, I threw real dirt @ them and fished the line in it's premade hole. The only problem was my exit was through this mass od spiders I had just assulted. Throwing dirt their direction with each low crawl pase I made it through and past and out the crawl space hole where I proceded to strip faster than I ever had in my entire life! (even faster than the frist time my girlfriend let me go to 3rd base!!). Luckily not a single one got hold of me, but I still have nightmares about that day 15 years later! How's THAT for spider-freakin-aracnaphobia?

Very brave. That would of freaked me out especially bieng in a very confined space.

They lay eggs to your ears in your sleep.
