Geocache Description:

Easy roadside cache situated in a boomed off area. Only for the brave who do not suffer from Arachnophobia! Please bring your own pen.


The cache is place in an area we often pass. We noticed the spot and knew that it would be great for this cache. The cache is situated within a boomed area but there is a botton that will open the boom. Please do not climb in or onto anything to find the cache as it is not necesary (there is way of retrieving the cache without doing this).

Please take care to replace the cache exactly as you found it as muggles often walk past here.

If you see any rubbish around the hidding spot please remove it, to make the experience great for the cachers following after you.

Arachnophobia 

People with arachnophobia tend to feel uneasy in any area they believe could harbor spiders or that has visible signs of their presence, such as webs. If arachnophobics see a spider, they may not enter the general vicinity until they have overcome the panic attack that is often associated with their phobia. Some people screamcry, have emotional outbursts, experience trouble breathing, sweating or even heart palpitations when they come in contact with an area near spiders or their webs. In some extreme cases, even a picture or a realistic drawing of a spider can also trigger intense fear.

Argiope aurantia (Garden Spider)

he spider species Argiope aurantia is commonly known as the yellow garden spiderblack and yellow garden spidergolden garden spiderwriting spidercorn spider, or McKinley spider. It is common to the contiguous United StatesHawaii, southern CanadaMexico, and Central America. They have distinctive yellow and black markings on their abdomens and a mostly white cephalothorax. Its scientific Latin name translates to "gilded silver-face" (the genus name Argiope meaning "silver-face", while the specific epithet aurantia means "gilded"). Males range from 5–9 mm (0.20–0.35 in) females from 19–28 mm (0.75–1.10 in). These spiders may bite if disturbed or harassed, but the venom is seemingly harmless to humans
