A team of spider specialists are searching for people whose fear of our eight-legged friends verges on the extreme, and offering to help them combat their phobia. 🕷🕷🕷
celebrates 30 years of its successful Friendly Spider Programme, it's looking for the 30 most terrified arachnophobes in the UK, to face their fears during a special anniversary event this May.
“Arachnophobia can be a very intense and debilitating fear. Previous participants on the programme have been unable to hear the word ‘spider’ without feeling ill, some can’t look at the green leafy tops of tomatoes because they are reminded of spiders, while others have gone as far as to sell their house after seeing a spider - one even confided they’d dropped their baby after seeing a spider close by. However extreme, we’ve helped them all.
The Friendly Spider Programme is part of ZSL’s core mission to inspire change and protect species, and supports a number of ZSL’s conservation projects for invertebrates, both at home and abroad - including the successful reintroduction of the native semi-aquatic Fen raft spider, which is listed as Endangered in the UK, but is now increasing its range due to conservation efforts.
