    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.
