Encountering spiders in your travels is commonplace. Avoiding them, especially when you're in areas where you don't know if they're friend or foe, becomes the norm. However, letting insects live becomes a goal of many "protect the environment" or "going green" advocates and travelers.
This includes spiders. So you might want to educate yourself about which are ones to ignore and those to avoid.
You also might be interested in the fact that October seems to be "Spider Month," when people are searching the Internet for information about these creatures. Perhaps it has to do with Halloween.
Marcie Pickelsimer, my co-blogger at One Book Two Book, has done a great deal of research on this topic as it applies to children's books and activities. Visit our blog, especially the following posts, so you and the youngsters in your life can learn more about spiders at home and in your travels:
