OMG... thats gross Robin.
....I have a whole collection of spider pics if you are interested
I don't want to handle them but they are beautiful looking creatures.
They are an important creature within the animal/insect world. It's all about balance. Fear of Spiders is equivalent to fear of Wolves - Essential to keep Deer/Elk populations under control etc which without predation can adversely effect a wildlife environment. Bring back the Wolf! And the Bear! This applies more to the grand old U S of A.
Hosepipes > Spiders > Wolves etc is quite an off-topic, even for me!
