Ever wondered what the best way to cure your arachnophobia was? Well, in this video I'll share the exact spider that set me on my path to curing my arachnophobia- the yellow garden spider!

Here at MyWildBackyard we investigate the secrets of the natural world- secrets that can be hidden in our very own backyards! I want to share the incredible world of insects, spiders and other wildlife with you and inspire you to explore your curiosity. Get out there, and find your adventure!
For those who read the description- we've updated the channel! I'm working on adding more features to videos to better expand our conversations about the secrets we find in the natural world! Introducing the Creature Tier System! There are four rankings:
1. Staple - These are the lowest tier creatures. They are the most common species in a given habitat, and while they're not boring, they're really only exciting when you're exploring a new habitat and you haven't seen them before. Not something to write home about.
2. Neat - These are a step up from Staple. They don't make your entire day, but they are worth taking a closer look at when found. Definitely can be exciting to have a productive day finding many Neat species.
3. Wild - These are exciting to find. Whether they have interesting defensive features that offer a nice challenge in the field, are particularly cool looking, or maybe a little bit rare, Wild species aren't necessarily the MOST memorable of encounters, but they definitely make your day when you see them. An adventure featuring many Wild species will truly be memorable.
4. Gem - These are special. Usually involving extremely interesting biology and significant rarity, Gem species are animals that you really do not see every day. These species can make your whole adventure, and will be very memorable.

One of the best backyard pets you could have.

Until you're walking in the woods and not noticing the big web and it's all on your face and you're wondering where did the spider go😮😢

@Sharkhuahua

Wow! It didn't occur to me that golden garden spiders are actually great at curing arachnophobia! It's so cool that you had this help cure your arachnophobia, a great first spider :)

@Red_Oni_Nerd

"The more we push past fear, the more rich and fascinating the world becomes" is such a great line that can apply to more than just Spiders and the natural world. Great quote, definitely going to remember that from now on. ❤

I moved into a new house back in 1986 and I couldn't find any of the yellow garden spiders for several months. My mosquito problem was TERRIBLE. The orb weavers spiders will remove their webs every day and build a fresh one. During the spring, I saw a few yellow garden spiders where I worked, so I made plans to capture some and transport them to my house. Five years later and I still had a huge population of them around the house. Every day, the webs would be FURRY with dead mosquitos! My mosquito problem also was reduced to about nothing over a couple of years, so the spiders really did their job!

As kids I used to see these spiders everywhere but now as an adult I rarely see them anymore. We'd catch em and feed them. When they bounce their webs they can be intimidating but I found they're pretty friendly overall for their size.

@dragongeraldb

That is the exact spider that caused my fear, i was 6 and running after my sister and her friends, we lived in central Florida, around Clearwater, we were in the woods and they decided to go and I was behind, with them being around 15 they past very quick but i was slow, all of a sudden i was running and ran smack into one of their webs, it was on my face and so all I was told is I was screaming and clawing at my face and chest as I had ripped my shirt off, That was even scary for them, a 6 year old sreaming, tearing his cloths off and making himself bleed. so no, that spider can go to hell.

@timm1139

As a kid, I always thought that these garden spiders were very cool. My dad said that they were good for the garden, & to leave them alone, like you explained. Thanks for the memories.

@jayemover_16

My brain just started screaming "ORB WEAVER ORB WEAVER" on loop the moment I mentally processed the thumbnail. They're my second favorite spider after huntsman spiders. Huntsman spiders are my favorite because they don't make webs and they're helpfully everywhere in Japan (I plan on moving to Japan). Webs are annoying when indoors.

I also had arachnophobia, until I joined a spider group on FB. I finally started educating myself and realized how cool and misunderstood they are! I always have my spider catching cup handy instead of a flyswatter for when they wander in the house. I've only held a few tiny ones though 😅

@LittleSeasonist

I haven't handled any spider other than jumping spiders, the garden spider & the golden orb Weaver are the spiders that broke my arachnophobia. Such amazing creatures with personalities all their own

@benhall2230

It’s funny to hear that a spider that was pretty instrumental in myself fearing them, had the opposite effect on someone. Your jumping spider videos helped me overcome that and now I’m more open to handling them if not still a little squeamish, but to hear the way you talk about taking the time to understand them and how they operate to further your passion for exploring things like nature, animals and insects alike, it’s incredibly inspiring and I’m always appreciative to see the new creature you want to show off. Much love to you and your future adventures❤️

@bulletsforteeth5029

It's been amazing watching Spencer move through his process of working with Spiders. It's a treat to see an Orb Weaver, I haven't seen any this year in Texas, the weather is just to hot and too dry, I hope to see them in the Fall when we get some more rain. They really are beautiful and beneficial creatures. 🕸

@Trickybad

Honestly, I've never considered free handling spiders before because they freaked me out. I would actually go out of my way to kill these garden spiders down in south Louisiana. After watching this video, I feel bad for doing that but also kinda want to try to handle it and cure my fear. Your channel has really opened my eyes to the world of spiders and other insects. Thanks man❤️

@heatherlutz2102

They are absolutely gorgeous spiders, and one of my favorites! Mirror spiders and banana spiders are really pretty too.

@theComputerVoice

We had one of these in our school garden for weeks, and the kids got used to seeing it every day. It was a great way to talk about how cool it looked and how important it was for our garden. Then one day we had a hurricane come through and it was gone. :( We were sad but I'm glad the children were able to become accustomed to seeing it.

@Colorista_1

Yup! I’m an arachnophobia. I wrote about it when you were hunting that purple tarantula. I’ve been watching videos like this for years in an attempt to relieve my fear. I’ve gone from fainting at the sight of an arachnid (even at a picture), to being able to admire them at a safe distance. Thank you and all of the other creators who do a wonderful job of showcasing the beauty of these creatures. Y’all have a blessed day!

@mmsdcb9081

I counted 4 of these beautiful spiders in my garden this year. They still make me a little squeamish, but watching you handle them is phenomenal. While walking over to my garden , a grasshopper jumped away from me and right into a garden spider web. That was the most brutal attack I have ever seen a spider do! That spider was on him like flies to honey.. it was crazy! I like to keep my distance after seeing that.. hahaha.

@DelicateInferno

Hello! I don't have arachnophobia, but I am fascinated by these little guys. I love watching you handle them. Great job with this channel and advocating for these tiny beings we share the world with.
