Bug Bites: Spiders
Manage episode 366369382 series 2804673
Spiders are a horticulturist's best friend. They're predatory organisms that have an appetite for all sorts of insects that we like to call "pests".
In this episode, Dr Ian Smith gives us a general introduction to this class of arachnid. Listen to the end to find out:
-What are the different types of spiders that we're likely to find in our gardens?
-What different methods of hunting do they employ in our gardens?
-Are redback spiders actually native to Australia, or are they an introduced pest?
