Spider Shots
Autumn is a great time for finding spiders and spider webs. My children and I took a walk one evening just before dusk when the spiders had already prepared their webs for the night. Take a look at some of the sights we found…
Black and Yellow Argiope
This web was built in the crook of tree branches that have already lost their leaves.
These spiders and their webs were everywhere along a fence line with a lot of tree growth.
Can you see the hollow of this tree filled with wispy orange webs?
I have no idea how this heavy web sack was supported by the web! It was at least 2" tall!
Don’t let spiders scare you! You don’t have to get too close to study and enjoy them. This is the perfect time of year to find some spider activities in the Spectacular Spiders NaturExplorer study. We’re currently revamping the unit to add more ideas and more notebooking pages. It probably won’t be ready for several weeks, so now’s the time to order the study before the price goes up!
