Tali Neal has been fascinated by spiders since childhood and is upset how just how vilified they are by society. Setting out to challenge the fear and stigma they inspire, she realises not just how attitudes towards spiders are often shaped at home and for her why her profound dyslexia plays a part in her interest in spiders and insects in general.
