Description
Join us for a presentation on a contrarian approach to the common human aversion to spiders. We will look
at cultural and psychological responses to arachnids, including behavioral studies of people's reaction to the
sight of spiders and other creepy crawlers as well as attitudes towards spiders in cultures around the world.
