My reaction whilst looking through your photos:

oooh some kind of lizard

AHHHHHH SPIDER

I don't know why but spider's just get asddfawek;ljjpoi under my skin. My cousin said something about the way they move/walk being like an anomaly to our brains and so that's why for most people their first reaction is to be squeamish. But he was drunk and known for his bs so I dunno. I too would like to conquer my fear haha but it doesn't help that my other cousin almost had to have her leg amputated because of a spider bite she got out in the field ...you'd think an entomologist would know better sheesh.
