For over forty years Fitzgerald Publishing has published many of the leading books on tarantula spiders, while its video production platform made one of the earliest tarantula documentaries screened on public television – Desert Tarantulas . Fitzgerald Publishing has now been re-booted as Lovetarantulas.com , where it continues to make ground breaking, tarantula natural history documentaries. 

The Lovetarantulas mission is to make academic, arachnohistory films, on location, all over the world. We budget £10,000 on each project which covers the production of two 90 minute documentaries, overseas filming, editing and DVD production costs. 

Teaser trailers, clips and more info can be found on our YouTube channel  but funding for future film production comes from you buying our DVD’s and downloading our films and book archive. Follow our Kickstarter profile for up-to-date info on our upcoming projects. Alternatively, you can support us by sending a donation by clicking here .
