Main Exhibits

what are the kinds of things the average person would like to know about spiders?

I have taken biology courses and have read and studied spiders for a long time and it hard for me to think what the common person would want to know about spiders. Also I have learned things from collecting and keeping them alive that no textbook could cover. For me I like to know very scientific things about them that would go over someone elses head. Next year (or at least the year after), I plan on making a exhibit at the next county fair about spiders to educate the public. Some things I want to cover is that not all spiders are poisonous but its dependent on where you live also and some behaviorial patterns. Any ideas? My main purpose is make people understand that not all spiders should be killed because they have eight legs and crawl on walls.

1. Why do you scare me?
2. I have a question...can poisonous spiders live in states that are usually cold? I live in Minnesota, and Im deathly afraid of spiders.
