In reply to the discussion: This is the most frightening spider statistic ever: spiders walk across our faces as we sleep! [View all]woodsprite
(11,914 posts)19. I find spiders fascinating, but I do have a phobia of them.
Walked out on our porch last night and walked smack dab into a web that stretched from the porch ceiling to the floor. The diameter of the woven area was about 24". Somehow I managed to avoid the spider when I ran into it. Good thing too, because she was about 2" counting her legs. Thankfully she wasn't sitting in the center, but off to the side - otherwise, spider in the face.
I felt creepy the rest of the night.

Regular spiders can't stand the geyser of bad breath that bellows up in their journeys.
