Question
Tell the class three things you've learnt about arachnophobia from the text. Collect more information about arachnids. Tell the class.
Answer
I learnt that it is the most common phobia. I learnt that in Cambodia, people eat deep-fried spiders. I also learnt that exposure therapy is a way to overcome arachnophobia.
Arachnids include spiders, scorpions, daddy longlegs, mites and ticks. Arachnids are invertebrates. This means they have no backbones. The body has a fused head and thorax, an abdomen and usually four pairs of appendages which can include fangs in spiders. Arachnids live nearly everywhere on Earth. They live in grassy fields, wet swamps, hot, sandy deserts, cool, dark caves, tropical rain forests and mountains.
