This Week! Photograph Utah Spiders -

Calling all Utah spider observers! 2021 Spider Fest is this week, and we need your help looking for spiders in Utah! We're aiming to boost spider biodiversity records in the state and share the UT spider love virtually, all in celebration of Antelope Island State Park's annual Spider Festival. Any observations you make of spiders this week in Utah (through Sunday, August 8th) will automatically count towards the 2021 spider bioblitz. Last year's bioblitz identified over 40 species in 16 UT counties, including some first records on iNaturalist for UT...what will you find this year? We're excited to find out!
