Spiders of the Northwoods

Presented by Larry Weber

12:00-1:30 pm Meeting at the Lois King Education Center. 8793 Owl Avenue, Meadowlands, MN. This event is free and open to the public.

The Sax-Zim Bog has an incredibly diverse spider community, with August being one of the best times to experience spiders. Join us to learn more about these amazing creatures with Larry Weber, author of not 1, but 2 spider based field guides and references. The afternoon will feature a talk, followed by a short walk to showcase what spider diversity is right out your front door!
