Spiders in the gardens ?

Because spiders are a gardens best friend. They are all quite harmless, really one type of spider you shouldn't have to fear at all. They are beneficial, eating all the bugs that would damage your vegies and flowers.
When I was a kid, I was forever playing with them, and there are lots of different kinds.
I used to steal them from the neighborhood to put in our garden and mom's big flower garden.
One of the biggest of these is so gentle, they let kids hold them at bug fairs:

Kids can be a bit hard on them, best if just left undisturbed:

Even the big black and yellow garden spider is quite docile:

Just get to know these spiders, they are not the bad guys.

It's because they know where you live. They're waiting for you.

It's actually just because of arachnophobia.
