Do the male spiders stay in the same place all season like the females, or do they roam?

35:05
how does the spider kill the fly?

35:33
They looked like aphids at first!Death on a stickš

40:49
Best way to humanely remove spiders and best place for transferring egg sacs? (Iām overrun with orb garden spiders)

42:56
what does diagnostic mean in re to eyes?

44:05
The male pedipalp shape has been described to me as boxing gloves.

52:31
How can I move a spider from inside a home to outside without hurting it?

55:04
Are these (funnel weaver spiders) the ones that are often found in grass? I seem to see them often as I am pulling weeds. I often have wondered do I need to worry about getting bit by it as I am in their space pulling weeds.

57:02
Great info- thank you! :)

57:14
They are really fun to look for on hikes.

57:36
Spiders are really active at building webs in the corners of the inside and outside of my window frames, and when I open my windows or move curtains, I unintentionally damage their webs. How can I deter them from building webs around my window corners?

59:08
On misty rain mornings, I see dozens of funnel spider webs scattered in the woods near my house.

59:13
Is there a best time of the day to mow to keeping from killing spiders?

59:28
Are window spiders cobweb spiders?

01:03:59
Are pholcidae considered cobweb spiders? (Oh! I just saw my first dewdrop spider a couple weeks ago!)

01:07:25
Had one on my car side mirror for a few weeks this summer. Thought she was a bit of debris at first.

01:07:56
How was it discovered that they do not have venom?

01:09:16
Thanks! I didnāt know about these.

01:11:54
I have two green lynx with beautiful egg sacs on fig leaves. Where can I move them if the leaves fall off before they hatch out?

01:12:47
r there 8 eyes

01:16:38
do they see color

01:19:04
Would this be our largest spider in NC?

01:22:00
oh great! now I hv to worry about spiders jumping on me

01:22:19
That's my girl!

01:24:29
Love mystaceus!

01:24:40
I love love love jumping spiders!

01:27:03
if a mother wolf spider looses her egg sac, will she retrieve it later?

01:27:09
Which spiders have recently been discovered to produce "milk" for their babies?

01:27:16
Sometimes you see the egg sac being carried in the front, too. Is this something that helps you tell species apart?

01:27:21
Is this an adaptation to disperse the babies?

01:27:26
I often find what are wolf spiders in my pool with their babies on their back. Why are they getting in the water?

01:28:12
Thanks! Good to know!

01:35:43
I love a parson spider. They get in our bathtub all the time!

01:35:53
Which spiders consume their webs and reweave them each day?

01:36:33
I have seen Fishing Spiders in my tadpole "nurseries". I see fewer tadpoles after their visits.

01:37:25
That looks like my window spider!

01:43:08
Is this a characteristic of most spider males and female spiders (difference in abdomen size)?

01:44:19
do all the cobwebs in my home mean thereās a spider nearby or is it a symptom of my lack of cleaning?

01:47:11
Generally at the end of the summer I notice a time when all of sudden there are lots of webs in the grass every morning. Is there a particular spider species that is creating these webs?

01:47:14
I like this distinction for certain types of spiders (as opposed to calling them dangerous or bad).

01:47:47
Agreed Martha!

01:49:11
I've often found paralyzed black widows (and other spiders) in my carport when mud daubers are active.

01:50:05
black widow bitesār there any long lasting effects after pain leaves?

01:51:07
Black Widows like outhouses

01:51:27
And woodpiles

01:51:33
I have seen all of one in the several years I have lived in Cherokee County

01:53:09
It was a very chill spider. He was very happy when I put him outside.

01:55:58
Debbie -

01:56:10
Are spiders good pollinators?

01:57:08
No they are not important pollinators...a few ambush spiders that hang out on flowers may accidentally pollinate a flower but not important

01:58:42
Do all spiders shed their skin or just some spiders?

02:00:41

02:00:51
What can you do with egg sacs that fall on ground before they hatch?

02:00:51
Yes! Spiders are the best! ^_^

02:00:56
I second Debbieās enthusiasm! Thank you!!

02:01:07
I thought you would have some pics of 'pumpkin' spiders ⦠I think these are the most photogenic

02:01:10
I read once that the average acre has two million spiders. Is that true?

02:01:12

What you recommend for a NC spider ID guide?

02:02:19
still scared but hv much better appreciation

02:02:32
I love spiders! Thank you! One of my favorite poems I have started sharing when talking about spiders is called āMercyā by Rudy Francisco.

02:02:48
This has been amazing. I took 4 pages of notes. I have a huge plastic jar that I call the A.R.T. (arachnid regional transport) for removing them from my house.

02:03:01
if you want to study spiders and go to college how do you start

02:03:02
The NC Biodiversity Project has a page for Arachnids. There is a checklist for common NC spiders, info on ID guides, summaries and photos of NC spiders, and you can submit records as a citizen scientist. https://auth1.dpr.ncparks.gov/arachnid/index.php

02:03:04
Peanut butter jars with holes drilled in the lid make great spider containers for catch, observation, and release.

02:03:41
How to move a momma spider so she does not loose her babies in your house?

02:04:07
Do house spiders fare OK if relocated to outside?

02:04:40
I keep glass jars and small pieces of cardboard in several rooms to use to take spiders outside.

02:06:55
Recently read an article about "embodied cognition" in spiders - neural pathways built into legs so that some basic behaviors do not need to involve the brain.

02:07:06
What is the component that makes the spider web sticky? Is it the same ingredient for all spiders?

02:08:49
Don was bitten by a Black Widow when we were camping at Kerr Lake when he used the porta potty. The like to hang out under the seat of outhouses.

02:10:15
Are pumpkin spiders also called lurking ladies?

02:11:16
Besides brown recluse, are there any other spiders I'll find out here in western NC that I wouldn't find out east?

02:11:40
Thank you for an excellent presentation!!

02:12:19
I didnāt need to know that Iām always within 10ā of a spider

02:12:45
Google Lens is very handy for IDs

02:13:48
Thank you so much for this eye-opening (x 8) presentation.

02:14:04
Thank YOU...

02:14:07
Can you say a little about grandaddy longlegs?

02:14:39
I have a folk legend to share: If a "writing" spider writes your name is its web, you are a goner! Bad omen!

02:15:31
I've read about those ones, I think they are in Joyce Kilmer forest

02:16:34
Yes! I've seen a couple of those!

02:18:07
Come out to Cherokee County and I'll point you to where I saw the lampshade spiders ^_^

02:19:22
