[Poll] Are you Arachnophobic?

50/50

Some spiders like wolf spiders Lycosa singoriensis (South Russian tarantula) I don't fear at all, probably one of the most beautiful animals in local fauna, and is not aggressive if you don't provoke them.




Other types of spiders like Araneus diadematus (Cross spider) till today still provoke some sort of fear, especially by how they look. I hate when you walk on a countryside road with high grass and many trees in late summer/early autumn, and you accidentally walk into a Cross spider web since these niggas love to make their webs across the road, and when discovering these things walking on your body, especially is disturbing when you accidentally touch them (they are quite big by the way) with your hand, very unpleasant experience. Ironically their bite is much less harmless compared to South Russian tarantula.

I think some arachnids are extremely disgusting creatures, but there is no desire to kill them. Our culture has developed a rather kind attitude towards spiders, probably because they are not dangerous here. Theoretically, here you can meet a mizgir (South Russian tarantula), which can somehow harm a person, but just such an animal does not cause rejection or disgust. Another thing is the taiga tick. Here it is a clear danger and nuisance and people are quite ruthless towards them.

PS if a spider gets started in some room, I give it a name, for example Stepan or Igor)))
