Spider Walk Mystery

Our Children's School Pre K Class enjoyed a lovely fall day at Discovery Park.
Walking along the forest path there were many webs set up. We learned about the orb, funnel, sheet, and dome webs. What type of web do you think this one is?
There were spiders in the trees and on the grassy field. With the docents help we were able to place two spiders on a sheet to see which would race the fastest across it.
Did you know that spiders eat their webs and rebuild them?
We also learned that Daddy Long Legs is not a spider.
Do you remember why?
