The Big Bad Wolf Spider I am terrified by spiders. If you were to touch their skin you would feel a tingling sensation. Their rough body create an armor for survival. They’re just a menace to society. Having eight eyes stare me down makes me churn, while they have eight legs to chase me through the house. All closets in my house are personally forbidden for me to go in; afterall, spiders stealth is deadlier than a stealth bomber over Iraq. Not being able to see the varmints creates a constant fear of my surroundings.
Spiders are the scariest bugs in the world. Sometimes it's hard to believe something so tiny can be so scary, but that doesn't change how I feel about them. No matter what I will always find spiders to be scary. I have heard that people shouldn't be afraid of them because they're smaller than us, but well so are hand grenades and I'm still afraid of them. Spiders always sneak up on people and scare them like …show more content…
they get enjoyment out of it. Spiders seem a lot scarier because you can see all their eyes and fangs much more clearly. They are like the monster in a horror movie, because no matter how fast you run they always catch up with you. What amazes me most is how they can run, jump, and glide from wherever they are.
Their substantial body mass is impressive, which makes their body their best weapon. Some might say I have arachnophobia, but personally it’s just pure hatred towards the species of spiders. The wolf spider (one of the largest of its kind) is an absolute nail biter. Their substantial body mass is impressive. Every night our front door gets mauled by cobwebs from the spider’s spinnerets. Knowing this, all of my family members take turns destroying their newly found habitats. As I woke up in the morning, I was very sad. It was my day to “take out the trash.” As I got home my body was nervous; even shaking in fear. Then one jumps and before my eye catches the motion the spider is clinging to my arm. Its hairy appendages grasp and I scream as its bite penetrates my skin. As their hideous bodies crawl across the floor I can hear the dry sound of their individual footsteps come together in a repulsive
rhythm.
Luckily, most spiders are not purposely harmful and most species are not as lethal. Their defensive abilities are more proficient than other bugs. They ball up with their legs in their webs and can change colors to even lure prey. Everyday is a new challenge. Waking up asking yourself if their miniature bodies nimble their way into your mouth while sleeping. Sitting in a room wondering if they are watching you preparing to strike. You can almost feel their microscopic fur crawling up the back of my neck, bringing shivers to the back of your spine.
With over 46,000 different types of spiders, if you have a fear of spiders, the goal of over-conquering the fear of spiders is almost impossible. Spiders are really scary creatures. They are incredibly strong. In fact, they can hold 170 times their body weight while hanging from a ceiling. Their silk is also quite strong—stronger than steel. With male wolf spiders only having a lifespan of under a year, brings so much joy to mind, but females can live up to several years, so you’re never safe. It’s really hard to be able to accept spiders in your life, without them the earth would be in pretty bad shape, so the question is–how do you overcome one's fear of spiders?
