SUMMARY:Spider Collecting at ARC’s Roodeplaat Campus
DESCRIPTION:Bring a picnic lunch. Meet at the first green bench under a sweet-thorn about 50 M from the entrance gate on your left and we will decide where to go from there. The natural areas are thick thorn-veld savanna\, the grounds themselves are mowed and there are dams and bits of grassland\, so we should find a good variety of spiders and other arachnids. Old and even new buildings will no doubt yield many interesting arachnids as well. We will try to list and identify as much as we can during the afternoon and specimens will probably be deposited immediately in the National Collection of arachnida. Book with Astri on astri@spiderclub.co.za or cell 073-168-7187.
