Just be careful when handling them. Not because their dangerous, no, but they do tend to be small. You wouldn't want them getting hurt or lost! Not at all, we're all entitled to our own opinions, and fears can't be helped. However, I would you like it if you could keep talk of how you hate spiders out of this thread. The main point of this thread is to learn and share positive interest about arthropods. If you are afraid of bugs though, may I recommend you read some of my previous highlights? Fears are very often derived from a lack of knowledge on a subject. By learning more about something one is afraid of, they often find out that what they fear is actually much less dangerous then they thought. I can proudly say I have helped some of the now regular's of my thread feel much more comfortable around insects and spiders. I've even landed someone a job at their local pet store! This is just a suggestion though, you are not expected to read about your fear because of me. Regulars? Care to back me up?
