I had the opportunity to meet a rather intesresting author the other day (Conrad Storad) – I was impressed with his book “Fang and Stinger – An Arachnid Story”. Not only does he take the child on a great adventure but he also teaches them along the way with his books. Please check out his books Five Star Publications.

Eyeless spider discovered in Laos

 

Honestly all I can say is better it’s in Laos than my back yard, Creepy Eyeless Spider Discovered in Cave. Spiders are just one of those bugs that most people either hate or dislike so I can understand all the phobia’s out there on this bug.

Scientists figure that there are still 5 million species still waiting to be discovered.Read this “Undiscovered Species – How many are left to find?” I think there is one out there that should have my name on it, what say you?

A new study by Ohio State University researchers says people who have an intense fear of spiders see those creatures much bigger than what they really are.

This information was in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders It was as big as my head, I swear!: – You have to sign up to get to read the entire story, but I bet I knew this answer without the study.
