Why don’t spiders get caught in their own webs? You can find the answer to this question and more K-12 grade spider activities than you can shake eight legs at.

Be a good neighbor. Please do not disturb the spiders and their homes as you learn about them.

(Spoiler: Why don’t spiders get caught in their own webs? They have a variety of tactics including: hairs on their feet and legs to create a smaller surface in contact with the web, meticulous grooming, the ability to make non-sticky threads and STRATEGY! They spin non-sticky threads for areas they use most, like where they rest. Wicked smaht.)
