“ Sometimes a fear, or a hatred, or a combination thereof, makes people do things that are not in their own best interest and even irrational.” History of the World since before we began recording events.

I've loved spiders of all kinds since I was a kid. It may be "Charlotte's Web" that got me started. Everything I know I learned from books.

Charlotte is named after her.

How big are they?

April's avatar

5 inches to very big like ten but usually 5-6 inches in diameter for the ones people have.

The fur is such a magnified view. The spiders I see are tiny and spindly. I guess there are different kinds.

Daddy long legs freaked me out when I was a kid (but not snakes), & I still don't like them. I'm glad I haven't seen one in decades.

But I'm sure you wouldn't hurt them. I've heard of people torturing them to death.

Well, if they were in the house I grew up in, I'd have someone else step on them, because I wouldn't go near them.
