  I think that peacock spiders and related species can help people get past arachnophobia. They’re cute, they’re intelligent, and they have entertaining behaviors. The fact that they have the two large forward facing eyes makes them look less alien.

  If you want to try exposure therapy for arachnophobia, they’re a great starting point imo.
