Today’s #WildlifeWednesday is dedicated to the creepy, crawly, and crucial… spiders! 🕸️🕷️
Spiders might give you a little Halloween shiver, but these eight-legged creatures are nature's pest control heroes! In national parks, look out for the intricate webs of orb-weavers sparkling with dew or catch a wolf spider darting across the trail. Despite their spooky reputation, spiders keep insect populations in check and even help with pollination.
