*shudders* I know what you mean with spider cooties. I'm reminded of the time my best friend's friend Adrian picked up a huge dead huntsman with his bare hands and threw it at me... it stuck to me because I was wearing a furry jumper. I never wanted to wear that jumper again.
Oddly, it's the small ones that bother me more. The big ones I can keep track of, y'know? I definitely don't count as phobic, but spiders do bug me on an irrational level.
Your little ones might be easily caught...I'm fairly convinced ours could outrun a horse. Plus about half of them can jump a good three feet...at least. *shiver* I'm always scared they're going to do that and end up down my shirt.
You probably don't have to worry so much about the jumping though, if you're not already aware of yours. We just have a few different species of jumping spider here. ^^;
You probably don't. If I'm remembering right, they like a nice dank, shady climate with lots of small nooks and gaps. *looks outside* Dank, check. Shady, overcast and hardly any sun counts, check. Lots of small nooks and gaps, tends to come with the dank. Check. -_-
We have a Huntsman living in the courner of our kitchen. He disappears every now and then too...like this morning. But he usually returns. He seems to keep the bugs away, though.
