Event Info
Colour patterns, ecology and even webs can all be useful in spider identification, at least to family level. Identification of species is more often dependant on examination of the structure of the animal’s reproductive organs.
We will begin the day by looking at the external structures of a spider and the key characters used in identification. After a brief overview of the main spider families we will then head outside to search for spiders and look at identification characters in the field.
The day will finish by looking at some specimens under a microscope to highlight the importance of different characters in species identification.
