Well today i decided to clean up the mess of my room, but not just hide the trash under the rug, like really deep cleaning, i was taking a break reading some papers i had around dedicing which to throw when in a corner i saw some spider webs.
Im kinda afraid of spiders to be honest, but the fear just comes and goes; this time i was feeling confident so i look closer to find a big spider on the web, quickly grabbed a rolled paper and made it fell.
It was big but it wasnt moving at all, thought it was just playing dead but i think it was either about to die or hurt.
With the piece of paper i took it outside to have a better look of it, cause it was bigger than what i usually see in my bedroom, but then i saw a red hourglass mark on its belly and got scared. I remembered something in my highschool days in biology so i went into google to confirm what i suspected.

At first i didnt read deep into what i found but clearly the spiders with red hourglass on the belly are the black widow spiders, Wouldnt you get scared? i did, and went back outside to find the spider trying to move so i crushed it with my foot ^^, by the time my foot was on top of it i regretted i didnt take a picture.
Went back to google and found that not just black widows have that mark but also brown widows, still a little scared of thinking there are more in my room :/
After the crushing end of its life i tried to take good pics of the hourglass (pics are not photoshopped btw)

Only slightly weird. I'm creeped out by almost all spiders. I love all kinds of reptiles and amphibians, but there's just something about spiders that I don't like.
Don't care as long as I don't see them or feel them
i wasn't scared by spiders before, until i had an encounter with a deadly one. almost ...
I love smashing spiders like these, as gross as it sounds, they pop!
I hate spiders, big or small... but having a wife means I have to be able to handle them. Sounds like you can handle them just fine, despite your fear.
I seem to kill all spiders indiscriminately.
like i said its funny how my fear comes and goes, my gf really really hates them to the point of crying, so like @The Radical Chemist said, im too ought to be able to handle them, despite my fear, but i feel sad killing them ^^ even though they scare me
dude your insane... haha
Instead of screaming and running away like most girls I know... I scream, while I'm killing the bugs... that way, I know they're not chasing me or plotting revenge :(
Spiders sux butt
