Wisconsin residents are noticing uniquely marked spiders in their yards this summer, but it turns out this species has existed for a long time throughout the state.
Let's get started by asking you to think about yourself for a moment. Do you have any phobias? Up until this morning, I figured the percentage of Americans with phobias had to be around 50 percent...but it turns out I was way off on my guess.
While we complain about the cold, and the lingering winter-like conditions, we may be forgetting that at least frigid Northern Illinois weather keeps the bugs away...for the most part.
Here's how to gauge your own level of arachnophobia: if you said "Wow, what a colorful and interesting specimen," you've got a pretty small case of spider-phobia, if at all.
