[QUOTE="kitkat39, post: 163610, member: 3770"] I used to be horrified of roaches (probably due to a childhood incident) and I'm still arachnophobic. Even though I find the spiders that I am keeping right now beautiful, just watching them haul ash on their web towards my hand when something is caught in their web totally creeps me out. They are completely different animals when they are on their webs compared to when are just walking around off of it. Kind of reminds me of a normal human crawling around vs someone crawling around while bent backwards on fast forward, like in a scene from "The Exorcist". I've gotten over the fear of roaches due to just keeping so many and playing with them while under the influence of alcohol. The spiders, I am warming myself up and playing with smaller ones, although I leave the huge Nephila and Argiopes alone. Things I absolutely HATE are MOSQUITOES! Those things always seem to bite me everywhere I go even if I have no skin exposed. The first 2 weeks in Southeast Asia are always horror stories for me. [/QUOTE]
