Bizzare and Frightening Spiders
It seems that most people have a fear of spiders. I myself am afriad of some spiders. If it's a tiny little spider, I won't fuss over it. But if it's something I've never scene or is something that looks really dangerous, you will hear me squeal.
One of the most interesting and frightening spiders I have ever heard of is the camel spiders of the Middle East. There are some sub-species of camel spider living in the southwestern United States and Mexico. In Mexico, they are known as "deer killers". I have heard that camel spiders will attack people if provoked, but I'm not sure if that's true. There are many myths about the camel spider, such as... that they eat on camels, or on sleeping people.
Another spider I find scary is the baboon spider. They say they are one of the most dangerous spiders in South Africa. There are different sub-species of baboon spider, too. I hear that they can be kept as pets. I saw a picture of a baboon spider in a biology textbook once. It was posing with it's front legs in the air and its fangs hanging out. If I saw something like that, I would probably run away... I wouldn't bother trying to squash it.
What do you think is the most bizzare or frightening spider that you know of? Which do you think is the most fascinating?

Re: Bizzare and Frightening Spiders
In my opinion, the scariest spider I know is the Tarantula because it is the only one I know. Since I heard Daddy Longlegs aren't actual spiders. Even so, spiders aren't good company to me.[/color

Re: Bizzare and Frightening Spiders
Ick. I can't stand spiders, let alone be around them. They frighten me as well, and I'll admit, I'm prone to screaming myself. :P It doesn't matter the type, though of course I'm more wary of the posinous kinds.
If it's the most bizzare/scary spider you're looking for, however - That, my friend, is a wolf spider, a critter I find truly disgusting.

I don't care what type, but any kind of spider i'm scared of. (Except maybe the really tiny ones in my room)
