Spiders in General Reviews

At the moment there seems to be a lot of spider about and everywhere I look I see one which encouraged me to write this review. I don`t actually mind spider s that much but I do find them a little annoying and hate cobwebs everywhere! One thing I don`t understand is why people are so scared of them - I don`t think I have ever ...  Read the complete review

====Introduction====: My love-hate relationship with spiders really began in my early youth, when I was a paper girl, delivering newspapers at 6.00 o'clock on dark, wintry mornings. Very often I would be one of the first through the gates, getting there before the milkman or postie. In those days, each of us walked ...  Read the complete review

Whilst i spent many years as an arachnophobic due to a bad experience with a wolf spider when i was young i have always been fascinated by the mysterious and beautiful member of the arachnid family. In recent years in an attempt to cure my fears i invested in a new pet, namely a mexican bloodleg tarantula (aphonopelma bicoloratum) i ...  Read the complete review

Man have I got the mother of all hangovers! I was over at Erics Webwarming last night and over indulged in the old dewdrop whisky. That Eric is so pretentious, banging on about perfect spiral symmetry and "location, location, location!" Most of us have been spinning webs since we were born. It's not rocket science ...  Read the complete review

It's that time of year again when 'house' spiders start to invade my home. It's raining heavily outside now and I know that something big and hairy is making its way up the driveway in search of shelter. My toes are curling at the thought. So, how do I keep them at bay? Well, I've done a quick websearch and here are a few ...  Read the complete review

Ohhhhhhhhh spiders! I actually have mixed feelings about these strange eight-legged creatures. One part of me is terrified of any spider larger than my thumbnail, yet another part of me is fascinated by them. When very little my parents used to sing the Incy Wincy Spider song to me, and I found the whole concept ...  Read the complete review

I always tell myself that I am not afraid of spiders. I don't freak when I see them and I'm quite happy to just ignore them wherever they happen be running around, or resting. This is quite strange because I can't stand the ones that sit in the bottom of the bath. I know these are exactly the same as any other spiders in my ...  Read the complete review

Apparently we are never more than a couple of feet away from a spider, this I think is true. I hate any that are bigger than a five pence coin and the bigger they are the more they scare me. I particularly dislike the ones that run, they freak me out and have me shrieking at my partner to "get it! Catch it! Don't let it get ...  Read the complete review

Over the past few months the weather where i live has been dry and warm and for whatever reason there has been a huge influx of giant garden spiders into my bathroom, kitchen and scuttling across the living room floor. I am just having trouble figuring out where they are coming from and why are they so big? Does the heat ...  Read the complete review

During the time I spent at college studying a variety of animals I decided to research the Black Widow spider. Probably one of the most feared spiders there are. Well. I learnt a lot about them and squashed a few legends about them in the process! They really are quite beautiful I think, although I am rather strange in that aspect and ...  Read the complete review

As the closest thing to Spiders, the Tarantula section will be the best place to unleash a web of hatred and terror of those things that crawl, and think - and make no mistake, they're thinking, and the scary part is you don't know what they're thinking... >Shudders all round< Spiders have ...  Read the complete review
