Event Description:
Bexar Audubon Society of San Antonio (BBAS) Monthly Meeting

Hate or fear spiders? Spend some time with Sheryl Smith-Rodgers, aka the Spider Lady of Blanco, and hopefully you won’t anymore. During her presentation, you’ll learn the basics of spiders, like what makes them tick, how they reproduce, and whether or not they’re harmful to humans. She’ll also educate you about common spiders found around the Hill Country, throw in some informative videos, and answer that burning question: How do you tell a female spider from a male?

About the presenter: Sheryl Smith-Rodgers is a long-time journalist, photographer, and naturalist. She holds a print journalism degree from Trinity University and worked many years as a newspaper reporter/editor. She’s been published in a number of magazines, including Texas Parks & Wildlife, Texas Highways, Texas Co-op Power, Guideposts, and Better Homes & Gardens. She’s lived in Blanco since 1989 and became a certified as a Texas Master Naturalist in 2012. At home, Sheryl and husband James Hearn tend a native plant habitat, which she blogs about at “Window on a Texas Wildscape.” With iNaturalist, she’s documented 1,318 plant and animal species so far in their one-acre yard.
