It is rather disconcerting when you think about it how many eyes may be on you at any given time.

Spider Spotting

Spotting spiders at night is really quite easy. Go outside after dark. Turn on the flashlight and hold it at the side of your head, even with your eye. You want the beam to be shining at the spot where you are looking, and you want the source of the light to be as close to your eye as possible. Then look slowly around your yard, paying close attention to grass, flower beds, etc.

If you look carefully, you should see some bright pinpoints of light. Examine these carefully. Some of them will probably be drops of water clinging to the plants, but many of them will turn out to be the eyes of spiders. Depending on where you live, the weather, and how carefully you look, you may see a few spiders, or you may see hundreds of them. It is amazing how many spiders there are out there.
