Awesome video! It’s funny how many of us started off with fear or even a phobia of spiders. It was an orbweaver that lead to me curing my fear of spiders completely. I didn’t recognize the species and ended up studying all things spider related. I don’t think I was a true arachnophobe, there were a few species that didn’t really bother me, like jumping spiders, crab spiders, and orbweavers. A few years ago, I couldn’t understand how a tarantula could possibly help anyone get over arachnophobia. My biggest spider fear was the fast, usually hairy, active hunters like wolf spiders. Tarantulas just seemed like massive versions of those. “No, thank you. Never in a million years. Don’t come near me with that thing.” 😅 I own 9 tarantulas now. My biggest fear now, much like you, is that I might hurt them. If one got spooked and bolted, my only worries would be the spider falling and getting hurt, or getting lost, hiding too well, and losing its life because I messed up.

Yeah, it's quite the paradox that so many started like that 😃
