Talk: Spiders of Northern Sydney

Registration recommended but not essential

2:30 pm, Saturday 28 February St Andrews Uniting Church, corner of Vernon Street and Chisholm Street, Turramurra

Helen Smith has worked behind the scenes at the Australian Museum in Sydney since the mid 1990s. There she helps to look after one of the largest spider collections in the southern hemisphere and often gets called on to answer public enquiries. In this talk, Helen will give plenty of general information about spiders that covers most of the common questions and a few myths and misconceptions. We will talk about spider diversity in our area and the whole talk will be illustrated by mainly local species.
