SPIDERS by Ian Wilson. Spiders have some fabulous adaptations to their hunting lifestyle. We will have a look at their structure and habits before studying slides in the Society’s collection to see some of those structures in detail. They also shed their exoskeletons so bring along any spider skins you find around the house or garden.
