A Basic Introduction to Spider Families

10 October 2024 10:30 - 16:00

Location: BENHS Headquarters The Pelham-Clinton Building, Dinton Pastures Country Park, Davis Street, Hurst, Reading, Berkshire, UK.

Event description

This field-based workshop is aimed at beginners and those with a general interest in spiders. It will include a brief introduction to spiders and their basic structure, life cycles and behaviours. We will collect a few live specimens in the field and look at the key features that enable you to identify spiders to family level. It is not a detailed technical workshop but will also make a very basic introduction on using a microscope for identification purposes.

Led by Bill Blumsom, Wiltshire County Recorder for Spiders and Regional Organiser, Wiltshire for the British Arachnological Society.
