i like most insects and aracnids. I don't like ants and I think black widows are kinda freaky. I used to love looking for rolly-pollies (pill bugs) and my mom called me Pumbaa because of it once. My favorites are taratalas and scorpians and I would love to have have one as a pet but not likely as long as I live at my parents house.

I'm even going to go out and bye a pet hisser this saturday!

Excellent! I'll probably have a few myself one day. I've liked them ever since I read about them about 3 or 4 years ago; among other things, how they can make their way through mazes and how one species carries their young in a womb-like organ. And the real clincher was about 6 months ago when I held one (I believe it was a hisser) in my hand.

There are spiders that crawl around my room at night, but I don't like them all over my walls and ceiling and furniture and windows and stuff! Not at all!

I'm deathly afraid of spiders. If I see one outside, in its natural habitat, I leave it alone. If one is in my house, on the other hand, it's dead!

Remind you of someone with red hair and freckles?

Sorry, but i am a big HP fan too, and i just couldn't help throwing that tidbit in.

I do not like spiders, but i can stand them as long as they're not A) poisonous, like a black widow, or B) on ME!! !
