To the editor: How good to see a front-page story asserting new neighbors of one other species and guiding us towards applicable surprise and respect as we welcome them (“Large spiders the size of your palm are popping up across the U.S. Here’s why you shouldn’t be afraid,” April 9).
Media each displays and guides our attitudes. When a platform as influential because the Los Angeles Instances offers such a outstanding reminder that concern and killing needn’t be our response to unfamiliar animals, it helps make the world a greater place for all.
