Arachnophobia

I am terrified of spiders. However I really want to get over this stupid problem. It's not like I live where there are Black Widows or anything.

Anyway, I've tried to view them through my macro lens as a way of building up courage. Not sure this helps! Although it does help me appreciate what fascinating creatures they are.

I have also adopted a rogue spider in my bathroom. I have called it Sidney. As long as he stays where he is we shall remain friends.

P.S. If anyone knows the species, please let me know. As you can imagine I'm not a spider connoisseur!
