It's so crazy that I probably see something like that every day and it means absolutely nothing, but when it's in a picture like that, I'm just like, "WOW! Nature is so beautiful! I wish I could see something like that!" You know?

The only spiders to worry about in the states is the brown recluse.
Most others are little teddy bears.
We don't have to worry about the box spiders like the Aussies.

I call them jumping spiders.  And i am terrified of spiders.  I can deal with them if i see them but if they surprise me i scream like a little girl and rin the other way.  In fact, i jump the half door that is in our office screaming cause a spider was hanging from the ceiling and scared me.  Man it was hard to live that one down.
