I have never had a jumping spider try to bite me (I think). They are the only spiders I'll "willingly" let on me, too :)

I used to get chills whenever I was near a spider and I kept away from them. I think when I started getting into macro photography, I noticed jumping spiders would look at the camera and sometimes come closer, maybe due to their reflection. The first time one jumped on me, my heart jumped and I probably messed! Okay, I didn't mess, but, the jumper just looked at me curiously and titled. It was so innocent that I didn't know why I was afraid of it; it became cute with it's big eyes. I let it wander on me and I thought that this was a step for me to help dissolve my fear of spiders. Whenever I did macro, I'd let one jumping spider at a time hop on me, if they wanted to. Although jumping spiders are the only ones I'll allow on me, they were a huge part in helping me, too :)

All spiders are beautiful and I have no idea why anyone fears them and I live in Australia the land of spiders sakes and sharks.

I don't know what started my arachnophobia, but the jumpers were my first big step :)
