What has eight legs and lurks in your home’s corners? These guys
from Say More with Mary Dixon & Patrick Smith
It’s spider season – the time of year when our eight-legged friends reach maturity and go searching for a mate. The increase in arachnid activity means you're probably seeing more webs in the yard and an increase in spider sightings indoors. Despite the fact that most spiders are friendly and good for the environment, arachnophobia – an intense fear of spiders – is one of the most common phobias in the world. Today, Say More wants to know: how do you feel about spiders? Are you seeing more spiders than usual this season? Are you ushering them outside – or ushering yourself far away from any sign of spidey? GUESTS: Allen Lawrance, associate curator of entomology, Chicago Academy of Sciences / Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum
