I used to be terrified of spiders, nightmares and all.
I've since learned that they are the good guys. Nearly 1/2 million people die annually of malaria.
Spiders can't touch that, and those sticky webs? A mosquito may not make a decent snack for a spider, but I never, never knock down a web outside. You go, babies!
But it took real work to get here, and I still have a difficult time thinking about tarantulas.
A mosquito got me a couple of evenings ago, and I had a marble-sized lump on my arm. Damned bug spit. Have you ever seen a magnified image of a mosquito's serrated proboscis? omg, talk about horrifying.
