SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE ON THE HIGHVELD! Spider walk in the Ruimsig Butterfly Reserve
DESCRIPTION:Meet at 432 Stallion Road\, Corner Equestrian Road\, Ruimsig\, Roodepoort \nQuick! Quick! Before the weather gets too cold for spiders and the winter fires burn the grasslands\, come and see what we can find in the Ruimsig Entomological (butterfly) Reserve. We’ve noticed that with the late and copious rains and still warm weather\, a lot of spiders are still around. \nThe reserve is pristine veld grassland which has been more or less undisturbed for decades\, so there are no paths. Please ensure you have water and if necessary snacks and please wear strong shoes and be prepared for grass seeds getting into your socks! \nWe now charge R50 per adult and R10 per child under 12 to attend these events. Eye glasses (magnifiers) will be on sale too at R50 each. Please bring cash. This is the only way we can raise money to run your club. \nWe will supply sweepnets\, other collecting equipment and reference books. You must just bring your spider spotting eyes. \nPlease note that there are no toilet facilities in the reserve which is why we have made the event fairly short! \nMeet at 432 Stallion Road\, Corner Equestrian Road\, Ruimsig\, Roodepoort
