In Search of Spiders

Date: 5/23/26

Time: 8:00 PM

Location: Pilcher Park Nature Center

This program is your chance to step into the secret world of nighttime arachnids! We’ll start off with some spider-themed coloring and a campfire while we wait for the sun to set. We will discuss spider behavior, how to spot them in the dark, and which ones call Illinois home. Then, grab a flashlight - we’re heading into the woods to search for glowing eyes, hidden webs, and resting spiders using real field techniques.
