Once autumn hits, it can feel like spiders are suddenly everywhere. One was even spotted on Queen Elizabeth's coffin during Britain's royal funeral.

Spider scientist Sebastian Alejandro Echeverri grew up in New York City and runs the website spiderdaynightlive.com. He joined WNYC Morning Edition host Michael Hill to talk about the eight-legged crawlers.
