...spiders...

I fucking HATE spiders. Fortunately our spiders in Quebec are so small they don't freak me out too much.
 
I used to play with spiders all the time when I was little but then a few years ago I became terrified of them for no good reason.
 
turns out the wolf spider carries its babies, "spiderlings," on its back! that would make more sense, since they scattered everywhere. i didn't get a good look at the spider before i smashed it but it most likely looked something like this with the babies on its back

i wasn't afraid of spiders until one of the places I lived they migrated in the spring and fall and for about 6 years straight I'd wake up several times a migration with a spider standing over my eye, on my face. I quickly became scared shitless of all spiders except those really cute hunting spiders....

orb spiders are my favorite though, if you've never watched an orb spider build their miraculous nest, you truly haven't lived. :headbang:
