Spiders & Scorpions with John Jackson of Bugs-R-Us, 3+ YRS
Those things of nightmares are explained in a positive way! We explain the differences between insects and arachnids and why the spiders and scorpions are so important for humans and the environment. Body structures, venoms and different species are discussed. Includes hands-on time with live arachnids including a tarantula, whip-scorpion and a look-only local Wood Scorpion as well as various preserved examples from all over the world. Visitors receive a spider ring and ID sheets for different species of spiders at the conclusion of the program.
