Michigan Spiders - K. J. Ester
A Foreword from the Author
First, and foremost, I have to say that I am not an expert. I have no formal training in the entomology field. While creating, as well as running Michigan Spiders on the internet, I have tried to make this clear and have turned to real experts on occasion. The information I have in this book comes from my years of looking into spiders while answering questions on Michigan Spiders, and information I have gotten from entomologists and other sites like Bugguide.net and Spiderzrule.com, two very informational sites to learn about spiders.
It is always possible, that I may have some tidbit of information incorrect. If you find any information you believe is wrong, feel free to email me at MichiganSpiders@hotmail.com and I will look into it and make any corrections I feel need to be made for a new edition of this book.
It is of utmost importance to me that I have the correct information in this book as well as Michigan Spiders on-line. I did not start the site for anything more than to give the people of Michigan a place to see what spiders they have around them.
Furthermore, if you find a spider that you cannot find in this book or at Michigan Spiders on the internet, please feel free to attach the picture as a Jpeg and send it to me at the above email address. I do prefer attachments over pictures pasted into the body of the email, because attachments allow for me to zoom in and sometimes get more detail. During the colder months, I do not check the email as often, but in the warm months, I will usually reply within a day or two.
The Fear of Spiders
One of the most common phobias is Arachnophobia, the fear of spiders. Millions of Americans suffer from arachnophobia to some degree or another. Yet it is one of the easier phobias to cure, or in the very least, to lessen the fear, if the person effected is willing.
With spiders, more often than not, the phobia is a byproduct of nothing more than ignorance. Most people do not understand spiders. They do not know much about them. Yet they see movies of dangerous spiders, and hear stories of poisonous spiders and quickly become afraid of them. Not all of the Arachnophobes are because of this, but many are. I think the greatest phobia of them all, is not a fear of anything certain, but a fear of things we do not understand. Strangely enough, there does not seem to be a word for this phobia. At least, there is not one that I can find. So for now, I will call this Ignoranciphobia. A phobia derived from
