Where I live the biggest spiders we see are what we call "wood spiders". I think because they make their webs in wood piles. One day my wife and I opened the door to our closet and there was a huge wood spider in the middle of a web he had made about half way into the closet. My wife screamed "Get it!" as she put her hand on the back of my head and tried to push me into its web. That, in my mind, is "spider fear".
That's funny. My mom has a serious snake phobia. Her and my dad pulled in the garage one day and as she exited the car she noticed a rattler in the corner.
Oblivious my dad kept onloading the car and started puttering around on his work bench while my mom ran into the house. My uncle was in there waiting for them and saw my mom dash in the house white as a ghost. He asked what was wrong, and she finally got out just the single word, Snake. He asked where, and a shaky hand pointed to the garage. He then asked where my dad was and the same hand pointed to the same garage.
He went running out and sure enough there was a rattler pretty close to where my dad was working. He must of walked by it a half dozen times.
That was about 15 years ago and my poor mom still has not lived it down.

Good thing you weren't at my house this summer. You'd have no voice left.
A near-biblical invasion of oak worms arrived, skeletonizing the trees, dropping frass (worm poop) everywhere, and parachuting down onto the house. It looked like the Invasion of Normandy. Awful things, oak worms.
I don't like spiders or bugs...period...and living out in the country I feel like I'm constantly, spastically dancing. About the most I can handle is Ladybugs and Butterflies.
Ecch, yeah, I wouldn't have done well. It was actually tent caterpillars that gave me the fear....liked them as a kid, until they hit the top of their cycle....i can remember being at the cottage and hearing rain hit the roof, but it wasn't rain. a friend who lived up in that area can remember accidents on the highway b/c the road was slick w/caterpillar guts. gross!!!!
