My daughter also has a fear of spiders. Is that from pre-birth or exposure to seeing me freak out?

Thank goodness my Mother was only frightened by a Studebaker Lark when she was pregnant. It only took me one can of Simonize and two years of therapy to deal with it.

Crickets that aren’t afraid of spiders don’t live to breed.

One morning I backed my car out of the garage and I could see a large brown “thing” where my car used to be. I walked up to it and realized it was a huge spider so I stomped it with my foot. Good grief, the thing was carrying baby spiders on its back and hundreds of babies starting running everywhere. I started stomping more, looked like I was doing a clogging dance.

Spiders bother me much more than snakes, but I can recognize a black widow, brown recluse, from a wolf spider etc. However one of my relatives in NE Texas will go hysterical over a snake, any snake.

She saw a dead hatching garter snake no bigger than a large worm (her old decrepit toy poodle had killed it and brought in the house), and she went hysterical, like the dog had brought in a full grown copperhead or rattler. She went out and paid $50 for snake repellent (all it contained was moth ball crystals) and dumped it 1/4” deep around all of her doors.

But then she is given to hysteria and melodrama, and to use the word coherency and her name in the same sentence would be an oxymoron.
