October is an awesome time for finding spiders and their amazing webs in my area.  Take a look at the webs we found in and around a barn.

    Those pictures are so great! I’m not real crazy about spiders… or particularly NOT crazy about them in my house or touching me, but their webs are fascinating. You got some great shots!

      Ok Can you come to my home and do this activity with my boys? Snakes and Lizards I find fasinating. Spiders scare the crap outta me.

          Did you know that spider webs are used to treat a wound? I’m not absolutely sure if it’s to stop the bleeding or to heal the skin, but people in the countryside keep the spiderwebs in their homes just for that purpose. (So now I have an excuse for not brushing away the cobwebs. It’s for the first aid kit!)
