OUR AIM IS TO ENCOURAGE THE STUDY OF ARACHNIDA, SPIDERS AND THEIR KIN There is a great need for new students to turn their attention to the study of Invertebrates. Most popular groups of animals are the large and furry kinds. Although large carnivores are and indication as to the health of an ecosystem, the Invertebrates are an indication as to the health of a Habitat. Spiders are the top predators of the Invertebrate World. We will try to teach the basic skills one needs to become a Arachnologist.
