I could not agree more!! Tarantulas are not solid black, though, but have stripes if they are of the dark variety. Frightening. Ick!

I too am petrified of big hairy spiders. OK it's not very manly, but that's the way it is, sighhhh. Once when visiting my mother in Florida when my kids were little, she took them on an early AM excursion somewhere and let me sleep in. When I awoke there was a gigantic hairy spider on the inside of the bedroom door. I had to use the bathroom across the hall and it took every ounce of courage I could muster, and a broom, to approach the bedroom door. as I touched the door, the man-eating spider started to move. I reacted in a manly instant, some would call it a panic attack, and I promptly dispatched the beast with a couple hundred blows of the broom. The beast turned out to be made of rubber which my mother, aware of my feeling towards such creatures, hung on the bedroom door for my enjoyment. If I had any strength and air left when she returned, I would have used the broom on her.
