Just to let you know that daddy long-legs are insects, not spiders. Insects have six legs. Spiders have eight legs. I'm not scared of spiders but appreciate that some people are. One way to tackle arachnophobia (fear of eight-legged creatures) is to start by looking at photos of spiders and then toys of spiders, whilst doing deep-breathing and feeling calm. You then take the next step of looking at at a living spider from a distance you feel comfortable with. Then gradually move closer. A British spider is no threat to you.
