This Saturday, April 13th, Butterfly Pavilion is hosting Arachno Fact and Fancy, an adult-only event that will go over all things arachnids. In this lecture, Dr. Paula Cushing, Senior Curator of Invertebrate Zoology at Denver Museum of Nature and Science, will introduce you to these extraordinary eight legged animals, their life history, behaviors, and their importance as insect predators. For example, did you know that arachnologist, William S Bristow once estimated that a one-acre field could be home to over to and a quarter million individuals spiders which eat trillions of insects a year and act as a natural control of insect populations?
