We found an interesting article by Hobby Farms talking about spiders and the research given by Colorado State University Extension. They talk about several different types of spiders, like the Orb weaver spider, which is actually very beneficial to have in your garden. They eat flies, beetles, moths, mosquitoes and wasps, as well as other flying insects.
