Spider stories from the deep horror..? -

i was going to say spider stories from hell but i didnt think the children would appreciate that.Anyway, HELLO my virginia friends! or people who know about this place called virginia. (which is a state, in the US)okay, im being silly...My question for yall is how many times growing up in, or living in virginia, have you come across a Wolf spider, and or a Brown Recluse spider.although we have black widows in my homestate of cali as well, (which im not concerned seeing as im 16 and only seen 2 in my life) im not familiar with these two others from virginia.. i m aware that the brown recluse is quite poisonousIf you must know, i really would love to live in virginia at one point in my life at least for a little while and these are the two spiders ive read of so far that i m not liking (meaning they scare me!!! :O )so yea, answer my question please and thank you! =)also tell me any other horrifying spider stories in your life that have occured in VA so i can know what to expect (if not then just reassure me that i ll be fine even though i may feel as if i ll die if im too close to a spider)Lol sorry for the sillyness, but thanks in advance ill appreciate your help! =)

I ve been in Virginia since I was in 3rd grade (currently 30 years old) and I can only recall a single time that I ve seen what my sister claimed was a brown recluse. It really looked more like a harmless wolf spider to me, but either way we killed it and never worried about it again.More memorable was the time we found what we thought was a small toad and tried to catch it for a good ten minutes before we noticed the yellow tail and realized it was a baby copperhead snake. Talk about a close call....
