... and yes, I understand the inner conflict between love for all living things and an instinctive ... or I don't know, maybe socially induced repulsion we humans feel when it comes to some species. I felt that way towards the spiders. I liked them, I always liked their colors and interesting behavior, but there was something disturbing in their shape
Now after photographing them and insects for years, I somehow naturally overcame that repullsion. When I don't see them as little crawling things from a distance but see them up close through the macro lens - "in the eyes" so to speak, I perceive them very differently.

Now I'm OK with a spider crawling on my hand, a decade ago I would panic.
