While the orb weavers and Argiope spiders are certainly a shock, it's really the Brown Huntsman spiders (American version of the classic Clock Spider) that can instill that fight or flight response when they run at'chya. I love spiders to death and always enjoy saving them from my house, but the first time I saw one of those guys in my apartment, my legs absolutely turned to jello.
