My psycho brother owns (breeds) 12 different types of tarantulas btw...

I don't mind any of them, for the most part. If they leave me alone, I leave them alone. I do not, however, include mice inside the house as leaving me alone. Those are fair game. As for bugs, the ones I don't like the most are June bugs. They are harmless, but the danged things get tangled in my hair and get hysterical when their bony little toesies are trapped and their decibel level goes up about 3 octaves. And they CLUNK when they fall. I cannot imagine how they manage to get airborne in the first place, they are aerodynamically impossible, even more so than bumblebees. Oh, and brown tarantulas are native here. Those don't bother me either, unless they fall on me from the ceiling - which has indeed happened. I was just grateful it hit my arm instead of getting tangled in my hair, didn't miss by more than a couple inches.

I ditto the "spider" phobia. Before listing the home back in PA on the market, I had to get the cobwebs out of the basement. I think I sucked a few undiscovered species of spider up into the Shop-Vac. That was some major ICK-factor!

LOL, I do that all the time too, those little boogers think they own the laundry in the basement. Wonder if they escape the bag tho

Kind of makes the skin crawl, doesn't it?

I don't like spiders and snakes, but that ain't what it takes to love me, like I wanna be loved by you!

Scorpions in Wyoming...no one believes, but scorpions and Jerusalem beetles (sp) look those puppies up and scary and burrow underground, but yes run of the scorpions in Wyoming, herd across I 90 and run south toward Colorado....

Sorry Jo-Jo. The song kept playing on the tape deck in my head, and then there it was, working it's way onto the keyboard. My fingers are like that horror movie, you know the one with the hand?
