` :I think having a picture of a spider on Arachnophobia is probably on the insensitive side (I think there was a similar dust-up with the clown phobia article, whatever that one is called), but to remove legitimately useful pictures from articles just because they might causes issues with or offend the sensibilities of someone is too much to ask. We didn't buckle to demands to remove images from Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, so there's no reason to give in to these other requests as well. That being said, both depth of field and focus stacking can be illustrated with non-phobia-inducing images, so replacing with other images that serve the same encyclopedic purpose is an easy public relations win in my book. HTH. ''''''  {} `
