DENVER - ColoradoDesk -- Colorado residents have been noticing an alarming increase in spider sightings this year, sparking widespread concern and curiosity. Cities like Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins are experiencing a surge in spider activity, and experts have identified several key factors contributing to this phenomenon.

The record-breaking wet weather, including the wettest April in the 21st century, has created ideal conditions for spider proliferation. Increased humidity and moisture levels have supported the growth of insect populations, which are the primary food source for spiders. Additionally, habitat disruptions due to new construction projects have forced spiders to seek shelter indoors.
