Bug Buddies: Spiders
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 10/05/2025
Spiders might not be insects, but they’re some of nature’s most skilled hunters! Discover how their silk works, why webs are engineering marvels, and how they help control pests. Did you know not all spiders spin webs? Some hunt on the move, while others use trapdoors or even “fishing lines” of silk! In this program, we’ll look for live spiders (safely!), create Cat’s Cradles using string, forming the string into net-like shapes like some spiders use to hunt, and learn why these eight-legged predators deserve our respect.
