There are many different things that people are afraid of and at times, their fear may lead to a phobia. One of the greatest phobias is of spiders, an issue known as arachnophobia.
If you tend to be triggered by arachnophobia, then the following video may give plenty of options for you to be triggered again. It is offered in a unique way, because it shows a wolf spider that has come from beneath a machine and it wants to teach us a little thing about the arachnoid.
Wolf spiders are generally feared and when wolf spider season occurs in Texas, many people do what they can to avoid the spiders at all costs. The video shows, however, that the behavior of those spiders is generally misunderstood.
The presenter decides to engage with the wolf spider directly, touching it to see how it reacts. It isn’t to frighten the people who are watching the video but rather, it is to educate them about the spider and their reputation.
Most people consider wolf spiders to be aggressive but the actual behavior when confronted by humans is for the spider to take off as quickly as possible. There may be a little standoffish first but as soon as the lightest touch is felt, the spider disappears from the image.
Wolf spiders are known as survivors, and when they see a threat, they will do what they can to avoid it. Maybe this might make you feel a little better the next time you see one in real life.
