Caitlin Henderson loves spiders. For the last few months, she was working for a travelling spider exhibition in Australia. When the coronavirus pandemic hit, she had reached Queensland – the venues shut down and the spiders needed somewhere to go. Suddenly Caitlin found herself living in lockdown with 70 spiders in her rented bedroom. Welcome to ‘Hotel Arachnid’.
