Predatory Spiders in the Arctic Food Web

Dear Mr. LaFave,

    Hi, my name is Stephen Brower I am from St. Mark Catholic School. I am wondering about how the spider traps that you used work. Could you please explain how?

                                                                                                 Sincerely,
                                                                                                            Stephen Brower

Hi Stephen!We use pitfall traps which are basically small plastic cups that we place in the soil until the top is level with the ground. Basically they run along the ground and fall in. It's really that simple. Great question!
