As I said earlier in the thread, I don't have any phobias that I am know about.
Spiders are just a little bug, and yea, I know they are not insects.
Back in the 1980s I was in the astronomy club and very active. One of the members had a really nice dark site in his back yard next to a large lake that had no marinas or businesses at all in his area. We all went to his house to see Haley's comet with his 21 inch telescope.
He let us use his bathroom in the workshop, but to get there, was a walk through a patch of trees. He mentioned to everyone, stay on the path around the trees, and don't go between the trees because they are full of spiders. At about 4:00 AM I forgot that bit of advice, and walked right into a tons of spider webs and it was all over my face in virtual 100% darkness. My imagination had hundreds of spiders all over me like in horror movies. I did hustle out of the area, and wiped the spider webs off my face and jacket, and back of my neck. I did a bit of a yuck dance, and finished my trip to the the bathroom without turning on more than his very dim red light to see the toilet. Spiders hold no special fear to me.
I was very sure to walk down the path on the way back to the telescope. Haley's comet was a major disappointment, just a fuzzy blob and nothing like the the drawings of the giant streak across of the sky like the text books had when I was in school.
