Spider Identification Course

June 22 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
R100
It’s back!🤩🕷️🕸️
Just because winter is here doesn’t mean the spider fun needs to stop. Come down to the Agricultural Research Council in Roodeplaat to have a super close look at some spider specimens under a microscope to learn about the fine detailed features that define a spider and what family it belongs to.
We will be looking at all the common spiders found in and around your homes to help you identify them😎
This is an awesome day for all ages! Young kids might find some of the terms a little complicated, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t love seeing the spiders up close under the microscopes 😉
We will have some coffee and tea to start off the morning and then get down to the nitty gritty.
PLUS! A bonus is that we get to look at the National Collection of Arachnida which holds most of all the described and a whole lot of undescribed species of spiders🤩🕷️
The cost is R100 per person, but R50 for kids under 12.
