Re: Spider photo's
I can never see myself doing that, but others who were as extreme as me that had the therapy then went on to touch the spider.

Ive got a great picture of a largish female huntsman carrying a hundred or so little babies on her back. I have to figure out how to get it onto the computer from my old phone.

Mmmm... I do like the idea of the virtual therapy for phobia's, trouble is, I can't accept that they ask you to then touch a real hairy tarantula afterwards

I have a few spider pics.
This is a lovely wolf spider. A girl. She's so pretty.

And this is a brown trapdoor spider. I don't think she's pretty.

And this is a pretty huntsman...

And this is a not so pretty funnel web:

This one is probably an orb weaver type thing:

Re: Spider photo's
Some pics and details here. I think (not sure) that the wolf spider or jumping spider is part of the huntsman clan. There are many different types (and colours) of huntsman.

Don't let that put you off. You've got nothing to worry about honestly.

That is actually quite amazing - all those babies clung to her back. Although I would not want them in my living room.
