Spiders! Are they scary? Cool? Depends upon how well you know them. Learn about their silky skills, hunting habits, and generally shy and gentle nature. Learn about jumpers, wolf spiders, tarantulas, the “bird turd spider,” and, of course, the black widow! Learn about types of webs, how and where to discover spiders, spider anatomy, common relatives… even a spidey quiz to test your creepy crawly knowledge. So, come with us around your house and/or backyard to see what we can see.
Led by Patrick Stadille, science teacher and author of “Spiders in Your Neighborhood: A Field Guide to Your Local Spider Friends.”
No previous experience or knowledge is required. This event is recommended for ages 9 and up. During the event, we will take a few minutes to go out into our own “local nature” areas such as your back or front yard, or on your porch, or even around your home to search for spiders.
This event is part of the North Bay Science Discovery Day. Learn more here: https://www.northbayscience.org
