People often ask us about bog spiders, specifically the wolf spiders. The viral social media claims of being swamped by spiders during harvest are a myth. While the cranberry bogs naturally have important helpful creatures including spiders and insects, they are generally small and will not bother you. While in the cranberry bogs the waders help provide additional barriers. We find most people that come to our cranberry bog harvest events say they were surprised how little they were bothered.
