It's spooky spider season in the Midwest: Meet the orb weaver

Orb weavers, those larger-than-expected spiders spinning webs in your eaves and outside windows in September and October, have been around all summer, but Orb weavers are a diverse and common group of Midwest spiders. They hatch in the spring and spend their summers eating and growing. In the fall, when mating season rolls around, they are bigger and more noticeable. They hunt at night.
