First off, they're not spiders directly. They're arachnids that are very different from spiders

Next, they don't eat your flesh and you can't feel it. That is what is called an "urban legend".


I went back to the link again...and read far enough to see that those claims were all fake .

Actually, they were wrong in some parts. This is why I don't trust snopes completely. They do in fact grow as large as dinner plates and they do skitter pretty damn fast.

spiders can't get near that big or fast. otherwise, Bandits would send spiders to rob the bank.... Have you ever heard of "camera angle"?????

I'm only scared of certain things like oversized things. We had an oversized cricket on our porch, and his creech will hurt you're ears!

I heard the picture of the camel spider was faked. I don't know how they would fake something like that, nor do I care to know, but that's what I heard. And I'm happier thinking that ugly son of a bitch isn't real.

It's weird because I'm afraid of the ones that can hurt me but not the small ones. I don't like spiders but I'll go up to it with tissue and flush it down the toliet my sister can't do that but I can she gets scared..once I told her there was a spider on her head and she started screaming and jumping up and down
Black Widows are evil
and other ones that sting or bite.

Like bees..I run when those things come

Not insects, they just annoy me and get in the way.

I do hate snakes though. Is there a phobia for that? I'm really not afraid of any other kind of animal / insect whatever, but snakes ...

insects in general don't frighten me...but spiders and insects do irk me if they start invading my private space..


as for fear of snakes is Ophidiophobia -- and there is a phobia for anything you can think of that you are scared of

Yeah Xeogred, lots of people are afraid of snakes. I love them.
I can't stand bugs though. The sort of bugs most people like, such as ladybugs and butterflies, those are okay unless they land on me when I don't expect it. I've had a lot of nightmares, especially with spiders. Then I wake up and imagine little bug feet all over me, it sucks.
I think when I'm on my own I'll pay neighborhood kids to kill bugs in my house. They can learn the responsibility of having a job.

It's just weird, because I think Iguana's, Lizards, Gecko's, etc, are totally awesome, but I just hate snakes.

I once had a dream where the entire floor of my house was covered in Snakes, and this really big snake ate my cat Charly. =\

Bad bad dream.

I hate ants, becuse they're usually alot of them.

And anything that can sting me really, though I don't get panicked if a bee get's into the house but I will be sure to catch it somehow and release it outside.

i used to be afraid of even tiny spiders. now i've become incredibly violent towards them. i'll kill them and decapitate their little bodies until i'm satisfied. bigger ones though still make me run like a little girl. any other arachnid or insect i love though. bumble bee's are cute. ants are cool. crickets make music with my banjo! pray mantis's are just plain friggin awesome. scorpians kill things. catterpillers feel funny. butterflies are purdy. cockroaches have a funny name and taste really good.
