A coworker BFF showed me this that he did as a scout leader. We did it with our college students on the many camp trips we did each semester.
At night Go outside in a wooded area, even a grassy yard.
Take a small pin light, using the narrow beam, place it next to your eye against your temple and shine it at a 45 degree angle towards the ground.
You will see hundreds of glowing pairs of spider eyes reflecting back at you from every direction. Then slowly walk to each set, get close and every time you will locate the spider behind its eyes.
The shear number of spiders everywhere, will terrify you if you have arachnophobia.
I never attempted it inside my house, I don’t wanna know.
Have fun!!!🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️😱😱😱
