| As an Aussie. It is absolutely DRUMMED into us from a very young age to stay away from snakes. almost all ours are venomous and the non-venomous ones look the same as the venomous ones...so our fear is heightened. |

| Yeah you're probably right. A combination between Evolution and childhood trauma. |

| Things like this get passed down through generations. I heard somewhere that prehistoric spiders were HUGE. Like, take the biggest spider today and double it. It's probably genetic, like the snakes. |

| I'd say it's similar to the fear of snakes, or maybe even lupophobia (phobia of wolves). Historically, humans had to be scared of snakes due to the venom. Snakes today are very different. The fear of wolves has been one budding more recently, due to all of our nursery stories detailing them eating farm animals. Which is actually very rarely occurring. :) |

| I had a large wolf spider living with me in my old apartment. His name was Travis and he liked to hide behind my desk. |

| Versa yea I used to not be afraid of them when I was younger but for some reason I am afraid of them now lol |

| See, I won't put my hand ANYWHERE near spiders because I just... Don't trust them, lol. But I've held a praying mantis with my bare hands so my professor could save it... Spider fear is irrational but very relevant in humans. |

| Like I get that they are here for a reason but that still doesn't make them less scary to me lol I don't hate them, just am scared to death by them x.x |

| Im pretty chill with the 2 small brown spiders that chill on opposite sides of the ceiling. They keep the flies that come through my air conditioner at bay |

| He is a little bit Dorky and awkward i feel. He catches flies in the house which is great because flies carry diseases. |

| Good lol had me scared for a second there xD also it that spider came into my house the house would no longer be standing lol I'm terrified of spider's. Wolf spider's are bad enough 😭 |
| Versailles |
| They are what they are, and life is life. A lot of what's been put on this planet has been put here for a reason. :) |
