They fascinate me, I have a bug preoccupation.
Although once I had a HUGE one in my sink, I think I could hear it walking. And it scared me so much. I knew it was silly though, it was just big for a spider, it was smaller than my cat,
and less harmful, (no claws) So I refused to let myself kill it, just because it had the misfortune of being bigger than other spiders which I pick up and put outside. I thought I smoke cigarrettes sometimes which are dangerous, but I'm not freaked about them! What is it about humans and spiders?I even tried to talk to it, you know to bond with it, (I'm lonely) but I was shaking finally I threw a tupperware bowl over it, and slid a piece of cardboard under still shaking, and then threw it over the balcony.
I'm not kidding I was jumpy for the rest of the day. I rescued the tupperware the next day very gingerly
I am really curious about why spiders incite that primitive fear in so many of us when they are almost alway harmless. Butterfly's are bigger.I think whats really cute about spiders, is that
I've noticed the newly hatched ones are not very good at spinning webs, and they get better with practice.
