An #orbweaver #spider (#Zygiella #xnotata) in front of a #window in #Berlin. I highlighted the spider's #characteristic #outline: Is #arachnophobia #innate? According to D. H. Rakison et al. (2008), #infants possess an #evolutionarily acquired mechanism for #spiderrecognition. V. LoBue et al. (2010) show that while the #fear itself is #notinnate, the readiness to learn it quickly is.

This absolute unit had set up shop right above the back door, I included the recessed ceiling light for scale (the photo still doesn't do it justice, the light is smaller than the spider 😭😭😭)
My husband managed to safely remove it and release it in the backyard in a spot where there should be plenty to eat. I'll bet this guy eats mice. 😩

I noticed an intersection of my dear wife’s worst fear and my #Steam library so I made a new collection. Any suggested additions? Clearly I need at least eight. 🕷️
