      Me! Weird isn’t it! But I’m finding the more I watch and learn about them, the less freaked out I get.
      I actually bought a little jumping spider last year to help with my arachnophobia and it’s really helped. I no longer contemplate burning the house down just to get rid of a spider in the bath tub 😂

There's an English word for such organisms: aggressive. Just because this word best describes them doesn't mean you don't have to like them anymore. Heck, you can even vacate "team human" and join "team Phoneutria" if you want to. ...But they are, indeed, aggressive, especially in relation to other spiders that "definitely aren't even slightly aggressive."

    Dave I live in the Blue Mountains near Sydney.

But I was told that Jumping Spiders are VASTLY more intelligent than other types of spider?
