So, does everybody remember the black widow spider I had for a while? Well, here's another picture from my past archives.

In case you haven't read some of my past stories; I had rescued this little creature after it had been submerged in Acetone (a strong industrial solvent) for more than 20 minutes. After a day or two of a somewhat comatose state, it came back to life and began to spin a web. I kept it in a container, without a lid, and fed and took care of it for several months. In which, I occasionally took it out and let it crawl on me from time to time. And no, she never did try to bite me.

However, these attempts and endeavors did not abate or decrease my fears or apprehensions in any way.

I do still hate spiders.
