Eva, I think this is my very favorite of all your videos, and I’ve been a fan of yours for years. My whole family is fascinated by spiders (we think it is our clan symbol). Not only were the Knights a joy to listen to, but your photography of the spiders at work is truly beautiful. Thank you!
That’s a huge compliment, thanks Annie! A spider clan sounds like my kind of people. I have to give credit to filmmaker Michael Fisher for a lot of the beautiful photography in this video. The spiders weren’t feeling super cooperative but they put up with us nonetheless. Thanks for watching!
We visited the Spider Web Farm this past August. Such a neat story and incredibly sweet couple. Just a unique thing to experience with the family.
