Hunting for Spiders

Description

For many folks, spiders are creepy crawly they do not want around, but spiders are actually our friends! Spiders are natural pest control and eat bugs such as mosquitos, cockroaches, and flies, some even eat ticks. One single spider can eat up to 2,000 bugs a year! By eating these bugs, spiders help control disease. Let’s search for some of our eight-legged friends, appreciate their intricate webs and thank them for all they do! Meet at the south entrance park sign. All ages and abilities welcome!

This event is weather-dependent.
