With bees, I am a "back slowly and cautiously away" person. With wasps, I am a "back away quickly and with more than a hint of panic" person. With spiders, I used to be a "scream and run" but am ok with some of them now. Though the ones that you can hear go pitter-patter still elicit "a scream and drop something on them", or a shriek for @sift666.
One time, we were driving on the motorway and I felt something tickle my neck, I put up my hand and felt something large and prickly. I flung it from me onto the car floor shrieking "Weta! stop the car, stop the car" @sift666 reasonably answered, "we're on the motorway, I can't stop" which did not reassure me one iota. He stopped as soon as he could, and myself and the back seat passenger were on the verge within seconds, leaving him to find it and deal to it, while we continued to panic.
That would terrify me! I am pretty much ok if I see any type of creepy crawly. And if there is a bit of distance. Wasps however just throw me into mad panic mode. Its silly but the high pitched squeals and screams!
I dont like the idea of a spider big enough for you to hear the pitter patter, yikes!
I suppose it is POSSIBLE that my over active imagination came into play and it wasn't really pitter pattering. But we do get some rather large spiders in our downstairs area sometimes. Last time I saw one I dropped a waste paper basket over it till @sift666 got home. But the basket didn't have the space underneath it that I thought it had. So there was no rescue mission later on, and i had been sweating for hours in case it escaped, all for no reason.
Oh my word, that really gives me the heebers. I am feeling antsy just thinking about it. The other day I caught one that was about two inches across in total and I was terrified!
