The banana processing factory washed and dried the bananas, look what it did to Harry – an illustration from Island Spider

Harry’s been washed and dried with the bananas that he traveled with. It made all his hair stand on end. Island Spider is the story of Harry, a very hairy tropical spider that gets caught up in a bunch of bananas and is transported to a far away land. After surviving various adventures he needs to try and get home. Luckily for him there are some locals to help him do it but will he be able to escape capture and find his way home?

The story is available as an ebook or as a printed A4 sized book globally on Amazon. Illustrations within the text are repeated at the back of the printed book so that they can be coloured in by younger children.

Stellaris is getting a flexible portrait‑swap system and a spider‑focused mode 🕷

After community feedback and the Utopian Abundance mod, devs turned the joke of Arachnophobia Mode into a scriptable Portrait Substitution, a configurable TOOL that replaces portrait types, lets players filter out unwanted spider content, and enables custom visual mods. Arachnophilia Mode remains as a showcase of how the system works.

Not content with producing some of the biggest films of all time, Frank Marshall thought he’d have a go at Directing too. Not a bad first effort this. Unless you’re scared of spiders, of course.

Biophobia: people’s aversion to nature

"Evidence suggests that biophobia is a growing trend in many parts of the world. Ironically, this trend has emerged during a time when increasing people’s biophilia has become a critical challenge for ensuring the sustainability of the human relationship with nature. As highlighted in this review, biophobia can harm public health and undermine conservation, but lacks unified research. Although foundational theories and concepts have been established, a deeper and interdisciplinary understanding of the manifestations, drivers, and feedback loops associated with the human aversion to nature is urgent." >>
