Nature's favorite pest controllers are out in full force! 🕷

As autumn approaches, spider sightings spike big time. You'll catch them everywhere right now, even making surprise appearances in your home as many venture out to find a partner.

It's a busy, fascinating time of year for these tiny architects. 🕸

This fantastic image by Linda Martin shows a Labyrinth Spider. These spiders build massive, sheet-like webs that lead into a central silk funnel, a true design masterpiece! See if you can spot one on your next outing.

🦎 Check out this fabulous entry from our 2025 Love Your Lakes Photography Competition!

Submitted to the Young Explorers category by Esmay Burley, it shows a common lizard at Fernworthy Reservoir.

On a sunny day, keep an eye out for these little creatures basking on rocks or stone walls around our grounds. But you have to be quick—they move fast!

A huge well done to Esmay for capturing such a brilliant shot. 📸
