    I voted a little afraid. It depends on the spider and where it's at.

    I really like spiders a lot. I love taking pictures of them.

    I took this picture of a Yellow Garden Spider two days ago-

    I said a little, because it depends
    (a) if it's on me
    (b) how big it is
    (c) and if it catches me off gaurd and scares me ((in which case I would be afraid))

    I freak out if I walk into a web because I don't know how big or what kind of spider's web that was

    I like pet spiders tho like terantulas ((sp?)) are fine with me. Infact, I'd like to get one sometime.

    I picked a little afraid. Because it depends on the size and location of the critter.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I don't like most insects AT ALL. But for some reason I've always liked spiders.

    Just a little bit. I'm not afraid of the tiny ones, but the giant spiders freak me out.
    Thank you so much for my siggy, kittycats_delight!

    I am petrified of spiders. I don't get it. The smaller they are the more scared of them I am. I have been stung several times by bees/wasps and because I'm not allergic to bees, I would rather be stung any day than have a spider crawl on me. Any day !!!

    I am not afraid of spiders at all, I like them to be honest, I live in England so maybe we don't have scary ones here. But judging by the reaction of some of the folk I know we do!

    I can pick them up and put them outside, but I only do this because my other half doesn't like to be suprised by them, he used to be totally freaked out by spiders but felt he could not allow a fear or phobia to dominate his life and so got over it. Also other peoples fears are catching and it had started to rub off on me. I found myself having a negative reaction and thought, 'hey this isn't me!' and put a stop to it.

    other half respects them because they are quite long lived and we both like to side with the under dog or should that be under spider, they have quite a hard time trying to survive in the world not helped by humans being afraid and standing an them!

    I picked 'Yes Very afraid'! I'm sorry if this hurt anyones feelings but I find them absolutely disgusting creatures. Just their look, feel turns me off. I run away screaming if I spot one. I must say though, I find their webs fascinating. It's like some type of art form created by nature. If I see one I take a picture.

    There is a spider in front of my house on this bush that is huge. It's always out when I get home from school at around 3:00 PM, so I usually make a run for the door. For some reason I always think he's trying to ambush me.

    I'm not afraid of spiders. There are very few animals I am actually scared of.
