Spiders are everywhere this time of year. Invading our warm houses and dangling from large artificial webs to startle trick or treaters. We all encounter spiders all the time, but a lot of what we know about them is wrong.

On this Halloween-eve edition of Talk of Iowa, Charity Nebbe is joined by Donald Lewis and Cindy Hayes to answer listener questions about the plants, trees and bugs in their lives.

Guests:

Donald Lewis, Iowa State University entomologist

Cindy Haynes, Iowa State University extension horticulture specialist
