Understanding Spiders Workshop

Join us for an immersive workshop focused on spiders (Araneae), where you'll learn how and where to find these fascinating arachnids. We’ll observe their common behaviors and habits both during the day and at night, gaining insight into their diverse lifestyles. In the field, you'll develop skills to recognize key features that help identify spider families. In the lab, we’ll explore techniques for spider identification, basic sampling methods, and ways to document spider behavior. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding and appreciation of these incredible creatures.
