Walking into spider webs? Getting acquainted with the spiders of SoCal
Manage episode 433334304 series 2851841
If you feel like you’ve been running into a lot of spiders recently, you’re not alone. Whether catching a glimpse of them in the corner of your eye or walking straight into a spider web, it’s almost like they’re everywhere at the moment. So what’s going on? After a healthy season of rain the past two years, Los Angeles is welcoming a more robust and flourishing community of our local, arachnid friends. But where are you most likely to run into them? From Jumping Spiders and Orb-Weavers to differentiating between Black and Brown Widows, we’re talking all things spiders this morning to help us get a sense of why we’re seeing so much spider activity this time of year. Joining us to talk about it is Lisa Gonzalez, program manager of invertebrates for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. We also want to hear from you! Have you been seeing an uptick in spiders recently? Or have a question about spiders in Los Angeles? Give us a call at 866-893-5722. Or email us at atcomments@laist.com.
