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 The Xerces Society and spider scientist Dr. Sebastian Alejandro Echeverri on September 5 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.
We 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!
This webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this Zoom webinar. Free. Learn more and register at https://www.xerces.org/events/webinars
