Spiders in Northgate Park

Hey Everyone,
Hope you are enjoying this warm fall weather.  There is no good excuse not to get outside at some point every day with this weather we are having. 

So this Saturday we will be leading a program at Northgate Park called Spider's Web.  We will talk about spiders, how they are different from insects, talk about some of their unique features, and then we will go out and look for spiders and their webs.  Not only are spiders interesting, but their webs are facinating to look at too.  Here are some we have seen recently.

The Spider's Web program runs from 10am-12pm.  We will meet at parking lot by the tennis courts.  From there we will walk along the greenway looking for our hairy legged friends. 

You must preregister for the program.  Cost is $6 (city resident).
