Depends on what variant of arachnophobia they have. Many are more afraid of the spiders and not the webs themselves.

- andrewflnr 4y agoI've never heard of arachnophobia being a fear of webs rather than, you know, the actual arachnids. It's utterly bizarre to me that that would be GP's first thought...
- turbohz 4y agoWhere there's a web, there's gotta be a spider?
- andrewflnr 4y agoRight, but even if that was how phobias work, which to my understanding it's not, it still depends on being afraid of the spider to be afraid of the web, while the poster above is implying there are some people who are primarily/only afraid of the web.
- birdman3131 4y agoSo when I googled it while in the middle of writing my last comment It was heavily implied that there was not a separate phobia for just the web. https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/fear-of-spiders#spiders-vs-spiderwebs https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/fear-of-spid...
