Coming Soon to Deep Look - Orb Weaver Spiders. Got Any Questions for Us?
Added 2020-07-09 21:22:34 +0000 UTCGood news (or bad news, if you’re an arachnophobe..) Deep Look has greenlit an episode on Orb Weaver spiders! They’re also known as European garden spiders or pumpkin spiders, and are commonly found in Bay Area gardens.
They’re characteristically non-aggressive, because they’ll flee at the first sign of danger by running away and sometimes even dropping from their webs. You might even find them helpful – they catch and eat lots of pests.
What questions do you have about spider webs? We'll share them with Mike and try to answer some of them here. Maybe we'll even answer them in our episode!
Comments
do they prefer to make webs at 6ft above ground or is that just that I notice the ones in my face more?
