God damn spiders

I hate things with stingers with a passion. With a spider, I can assume that it will just avoid me and carry on with its business.

Have to agree with everything here. Especially the stinging insects part, because I'm allergic to several varieties of bees, wasps, and hornets. Those are the only insects/arachnids that truly terrify me.

How ya doing, buddy?

The daddy long-legs is an urban legend (snopes.com/critters/wild/longlegs.htm). And if they don't look much like spiders - well, they aren't. They aren't a member of the family Araneae. But they're still Arachnids.

As long as I know a given spider doesn't have a dangerous toxicity, I'm not bothered. I still treat them all with respect as spider bites in general aren't fun, regardless of toxicity.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
