Despite the initial heebie-jeebies, we all enjoyed our spider presentation by Swan Lake naturalist, Scott M. The morning was packed with all kinds of information about spiders around the world and on Vancouver Island.
 |
| Scott introduces Rosebud the Tarantula to Div. 9. At this point, we're not so sure how we feel about Rosebud. |
 |
| We take turns shaking hands with the tarantula once we learn that it's rare to get bitten by a tarantula and the tarantula bite isn't deadly. |
 |
| Keira is afraid of spiders but she didn't get scared when it was close to her. |
 |
| Kaleb shook a leg with Rosebud. |
 |
| Serina, Ben, Ben, Kyla, Henri, and Eric were very interested in the Mexican Tarantula. |
 |
| Kyla is pictured here with Charlotte, the Mexican tarantula. Charlotte shed her exoskeleton over the long weekend and we got to see that too. |
 |
| Australian Leaf Bug. Scott told us the difference between insects and spiders. |
