October-discoveries

For my __science discovery__ I researched on Grass Spiders otherwise known as The Funnel Weaver.
=__**Variety**__= The grass spider can come in a wide variety of colors such as black, tan, brown, and gray. They have eight eyes all the same size and arched upwards. The male is larger in size than the female too. Their legs covered in many thick spines and hairs, have three claws. ( see diagram below)resources.schoolscience.co.uk

=__**Scavenger** **Hunt**__= Grass spiders are found in the United States and Canada on or near the ground. During a dewy morning you may confront a wet funnel looking spider web,this belongs to a grass spider. They eat any insect or any other spider that makes its way on their web. Their lifespan is one year but they may live longer. They lay their eggs in late summer or fall and the spiderlings are born in 4-6 weeks. Many people are afraid of spiders but Grass spiders are non-agressive if you happen to confront them they simply just retreat to their webs.
