Arachnophobia

I have a rather severe, constant fear of spiders. Lately, they've been everywhere. In my backyard, room, shower, and on me.

This dude was hanging out on my front porch. I flipped out, hyperventilated, then reached for my camera. Yuck. Enjoy.

On a side note (related, for once), all spiders are pirates. The king of them all is a brown widow named Ted who occasionally resides in my mailbox. Ted reports directly to Captain Muffin Man, the infamous pirate whose sole mission seems to be to thwart the pastry-saving plans of Ninja Bread Man. More on this another time...
