Ever since I was a small child I have been totally creeped out by these big yellow spiders! The thought of having it touch me sends chills down my spine! However, I have learned to appreciate the true beauty of this eight-legged creature:)

I would like to think that I was overcoming my phobia, but I don’t think that will ever happen:( Even the smallest spider can still make me jump in fear if it comes toward me!
