Spiders, Spiders, Spiders, Oh My!

We had such a great 4 Winds lesson on Wednesday. I learned so much about spiders that I didn't know before. I didn't know about the different types of webs, or that spiders are always letting out silk so that they are ready to start a new web if they fall. I think that most of the spiders that I have been seeing make orb webs. But I know there are lots of cobwebs in my basement. Did you know that spiders aren't insects? Since our 4 Winds lessons I have been seeing spiders everywhere! When you post to our blog, insert a picture with a caption and write about something that you learned about spiders!
