Creature Comforts Spider Time

On Creature Comforts, Kevin Farrell is joined by Dr. Troy Majure , veterinarian at the Animal Medical Center in Jackson and Libby Hartfield retired director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. From irradiated bites giving you super powers to a wise lady named Charlotte spouting wisdom as she churns her web, spiders have been a significant part of pop culture for ages. This Halloween season, Dr. Wesley Shoop joins us as our guest today for Creature Comforts to tell us about the significance of spiders – maybe not in pop culture – but in our ecosystem.
