1. Spiders have always scared me

but some of these are cute. BTW, I think that first one should have been labeled a spider chipmunk.

Thanks for the creepies.

2. It does look like a chipmunk doesn't it?

I guess the person who made it thought spider squirrel sounded better.


Some spiders are cuter than others. The cute small ones jump though, so...

3. Either that or

he/she didn't know the difference between a squirrel and a chipmunk. Either way, it was still cute. My worst nightmare is the one lurking under the bed....

4. A new study says that is normal, it's instinctual.

The study found that 6 month old babies reacted to pictures of spiders and snakes.

12. Interesting

I can't remember a time when I wasn't afraid of spiders. I had no idea it is instinctual. Good to know.

5. Not a fan of spiders, but I loved them

In order of my faves
1. "I bringed you a fly." Very cute
2. "Remember when you threw a shoe at me." Hysterical
3. "Meow"

8. I wouldn't walk one on a leash but I find them fascinating.

13. Solly, have you heard of Golden Orb spiders?

You can check them out in google images
They are about the size of my palm, happily they don't move around much, just stay in the web.
Not only are they cool to look at, but their webs are actually golden, and in the sunlight they shine and shimmer.
this year we have had a lot of them around the house, and in the yard. They disappear when the weather turns chilly, leaving the lovely webs to dance in the breeze until they too disappear, in shreds.

14. Orb weaver spiders are some of my favorites.

7. Spiders create one of my favorite art forms; the web.

The beauty and construction is amazing. Like all of your hybrid spiders.

[Solly Mack]

10. I like their webs too.

Spiders are pretty cool... even if a little icky.

11. I love spiders.

I found a huge black spider in the barn yesterday; moved it carefully out of my way so it could continue to eat the despised flies.

15. Spiders are beneficial. I like having them in my garden.

Yeah, a little creepy at times, but that's part of their charm.
