To the editor: How good to see a front-page story saying new neighbors of one other species and guiding us towards applicable surprise and respect as we welcome them (“Massive spiders the scale of your palm are popping up throughout the U.S. Right 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 worry and killing needn’t be our response to unfamiliar animals, it helps make the world a greater place for all.
