A couple days late, but an important message!
Spread the spider love!

Today is Save a Spider Spider Day, but really this is a day we should observe every day! The vast majority of spiders are of great benefit to us. They help control pest populations and their impressive range of unique adaptations have provided breakthroughs for us in a wide range of fields including medicine, science, manufacturing and even robotics.

Now You Know! - Cellar spiders (Pholcidae) are members of the Pholcidae family of arachnids. They have very thin, long legs and a body shape resembling a peanut. They are found on every continent in the world except Antarctica. These spiders are beneficial because they reduce the population of other more harmful household pests.
