The Curious Cousins and the African Elephant Expedition: Daddy Longlegs

Check out this weird-looking daddy long-legged spider gyrating in its web! 🕷️🕸️🌀

In The Curious Cousins and the African Elephant Expedition, Emilia, Isla, and Audrey encounter this strange phenomenon and learn about the reasons why daddy long-legged spiders gyrate.

Daddy long-legged spiders gyrate for a variety of reasons, including to attract mates, to defend themselves against predators, and to clean their webs.

The gyrating motion of the spider’s legs can create vibrations that travel through the web, alerting other spiders to its presence. This can help the spider to attract mates or to warn predators to stay away.

The spider’s legs can also be used to clean the web of dirt and other debris. By gyrating its legs, the spider can shake the web and remove any unwanted material.

Watch the Curious Cousins see the gyrating daddy long-legged spider in The Curious Cousins and the African Elephant Expedition! Available on Amazon.
