Personally I -blam!-ing hate any fly species. They annoy the shit out of me. And my arachnophobia level is 0. That's why to me spiders are friends and valuable allies in the everlasting war against the fly army that attempts to blitzkrieg me every spring and summer. The cellar spider species on the picture is my closest ally. I told them "I grant you asylum if you help fighting fly army and not crawl on my face when I sleep". Deal! What about you?
