    I hate spiders aswell but that's a cool pic. :)

    and I don't hate spiders as much as I hate moths. :eek: well, maybe those jumping spiders. :eek: :eek: :eek:

    This thing was in my backyard. For all I know, it floated in from South Africa, or came via a bananna load.

    That is a really pretty spider. I want to name it Helen and keep it in a jar.

    This Shamrock spider was crawling on/in my tent when I was camping.

    And this guy, although not a spider was on a lawn chair on my porch, and he was ready to fight. He is a Obscure Ground Mantid.
    And yes I have the national audubon societies field guide to insects and spiders...lol
    I figure I might as well know what they are if they're going to creep me out.
    I'm wondering, about wondering...
