I am an 11th grade student doing a science project that involves observing the web patterns of orb-weavers. The trouble is, I can't seem to get my hands on any spiders to use. I live in conneticut and plan to keep them indoors. If anybody knows where I can get some orb-weavers (preferably less venomous and easy to maintain) I really need to know.

You picked the worst month of the year to acquire orbweaver spiders for such a project. I'd recommend picking a different spider species that is more available in the pet hobby and making observations on their webbing patterns. I usually have a few (non-orbweaving) backyard/household species available.

(a few moments later...just found one orbweaver and suspect I can find more if you are interested.)
