Admittedly, I'm not afraid of spiders in the least. My only phobia? Whales. Huge whales. No thank you. "But Kyle, they're so gentle and calming." Excuse me? Have you seen the size of these deep, dark, water beasts? Nope.

Anyhow, enough about me. This is about you, and your fear of spiders. This spider was apparently seen by a British tourist couple in the Dominican Republic, and is known as the "Cacata". They are about the same size as tortoises. Wrap your brain around that one!
