What types of spiders inhabit upstate New York?

For one thing, many more species of spider exist than species of bird. About as many spider species exist just in New York and New England as there are bird species in all of North America north of Mexico. In the US, there's no pocket-size field guide we can carry with us expecting to identify every spider we meet, as we do with birds. Amateur spider watchers must forgo the pleasure of making lists of every spider species seen. European spider-watchers have it a little easier, first because they have many fewer spider species than in the US, plus they have a guide called Collins Field Guide: Spiders of Britain and Northern EuropeHowever, all is not lost for Americans. There is at least one small, commonly available field guide illustrating and describing the most common spider species, many of them the very ones found in our backyards. It's one of the Golden Nature Guides, almost always available in mall bookstores, called Spiders and Their Kin, by Herbert and Lorna Levi, and published by Golden Press of New York. There could hardly be a better first introduction to spiders than this. Using this book I was able to identify the Fishing Spider, Dolomedes triton, pictured at the right, and photographed in a small pond in Kentucky. This common species, as you see, lives in or near water. It captures insects and sometimes even tadpoles and small fish! The flaky things around the spider atop the water are Duckweed, a tiny aquatic plant.

How can you cure your aracnophobia?

I have come to grips with my fear of spiders by doing many things. the first is exposing yourself to them. Just looking at themn and appreciating them as one of God's creatures. The second is understanding them. They are truly magnificent arthropods, and they are by far more scared of you than you could ever be of them. To them you represent a possible predator, so they do just what you would do, and maybe have done, try to run the bigger creature off. It's like a game of chicken, they run at you and you flinch, or thery stop short. The third thing to do is to ignore them when they are in your house. Do that or use a cup and herd them into it and place them outside. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT KILL SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE SCARED OF IT!!!!! The last thing that helped me get over my fear of spiders is that when I moved from the north to the south, the spiders increased in size and numbers, so I encountered more "hairy-uggies"
