    Exactly! I would love to not be terrified of spiders, but seeing a really big hairy one right next to my bed means that I either kill it, someone removes it, or I do not sleep. I do not enjoy killing the spider, I feel really bad about it, but I have to admit that I care more about myself than I do about the spider.

    People are so judgmental about the spiders, yet those same people will kill mosquitos or other insects without caring and I never ever kill insects on purpose.

    See, I like insects and I have no problem with them at all. There are this big spiders here that eat bees and it makes me feel sad everytime I see it since I adore bees.

    When I work in the woods during the summer it is hilarious because both me and my coworker are terrified of spiders so everytime a spider gets on either of us we both start shrieking and run away. It is quite pathetic.

    "The animals come out at night." ~ Travis Bickle

    Myself, I've always wondered why people chose to party at night. But, I think I've found the answer to my satisfaction: duplicity.

    At night, one can get away with sex, drugs, violence, and madness more easily. Then, during the day, they can return to being functional cogs in the productive capital of their masters.

    And so it is with certain species...:devil:

    There was one in my room last night. Wasn't there all evening, then right as I was about to go to bed it crawled out. I'm sure they know when everyone else has gone to sleep and there is no one who can take it away.

    I consider a spider an annoying, harmful insect. Now what?

    some of the house spiders that eat the hobo spiders are good but they look alike so I have a hard time telling the apart. But if you put a house spider outside it will die anyhow so whats a guy to do. But kill them all.

    That sounds about right, they’ve been around for over 300 million years and scientists estimate there are approximately one quadrillion spiders on earth :eek:

    Spiders are one of the things I do not like about living on the coast. There are way more, way bigger, way hairier spiders here than back where I grew up. In the grass here, when you step down about 30 black hairy spiders will scurry out from underneath your feet.... ugh.

    I am terrified of spiders as well. Im too afraid to squash them with anything cause the little fuckers are fast and if I miss they could counter attack by crawling on my arm. So I find the nastiest looking chemicals under my sink and spray them from a distance.

    We call those Wolf spiders here. Some are the size of size of my palm. I always keep an eye out for them before starting my outboard in the morning.

    Youre a nice person and you will probably NOT be reborn as an insect in another life:)

    People are always so quick to defend spiders, but not so quick to defend things like centipedes, tapeworms and houseflies. All this talk about how wonderful spiders are for killing insects.... I care more about the lives of those insects, SO THERE!

    there are so many divine things- you wont be reborn as an animal or plant just because you didnt kill it unnecessarily
