The author reflects on their experience living in Costa Rica, a place teeming with wildlife, particularly spiders and other arthropods. Initially repulsed by the abundance of creepy crawlies, the writer recounts a transformative journey of overcoming this fear amidst the breathtaking ecological beauty of the region. Despite the fear associated with venomous creatures like spiders, the author suggests that understanding and acclimating to these creatures could lead to a potential appreciation of their role in the environment, urging readers to find a way to coexist with them.
With something like fifteen quadrillion spiders around, we can't escape them. Can we learn to love them?
