AT: Xerces Society – In the Life of Jumping Spiders
August 23 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
FreeVirtual, 12pm – 1pm CST
Even amongst other bugs, spiders are often overlooked and misunderstood. But these ancient, diverse, and wonderfully weird creatures have a lot to teach us. And the best group of spiders to start with might be jumping spiders: they are colorful, clever, and even cute! Join spider scientist Dr. Sebastian Alejandro Echeverri as he shares the incredible superpowers, dramatic lives, and unexpected beauty of jumping spiders! You will meet species that you can find in both your local gardens and across the world, and discover what makes them special.
Speaker Dr. Sebastian Alejandro Echeverri will also explore the surprising ecological connections between spiders and other wildlife, as well as how to observe and interact with these animals at your comfort level. There will also be a Q&A session, so bring questions about spiders and other arachnids!
