We used to hunt wolf spiders at night with a flashlight. You hold the flashlight just under or beside your eyes and shine it out onto the lawn...green eyes in the night. There are more spiders than you could ever imagine.
There is always a spider within 3 to 6 ft of you... unless you are mountain climbing, scuba diving or something weirdlike that.
In ungrazed pasture there are about 130 spiders withing a few feet.
Then there is this:

American Museum of Natural History, this estimate is low:
An acre of English meadow in late summer has been estimated to contain more than 2 million spiders, and it's safe to assume that wetlands and undisturbed forest contain significantly more.
That's about 46 spiders
per square foot!
Have a wonderful day!!!!
