Fake Halloween spiderwebs may endanger wildlife
Original: VERIFY: Can fake Halloween spiderwebs be dangerous to wildlife?

Reports suggest outdoor webs may trap insects, birds and bats, prompting recommendations to keep decorations indoors or use thinner, less sticky materials.
Why now: Halloween season is driving interest in whether popular decorations pose risks to animals.
