Arachnophobia - n. An abnormal fear of spiders.
I may not be arachnophobic in the truest sense of the word, but I do shudder when I think about the little beasties. Imagine, if you will, sitting quietly outside with a good book. Suddenly, a new punctuation mark appears! And it's got legs... lots of legs. Seriously, who wouldn't scream like a little girl?
