What better way to celebrate #BeKindToSpidersWeek than by getting up close with some fascinating spiders at Butterfly Pavilion! Whether you’re holding Rosie the Tarantula, meeting some crawly companions in our Survival exhibit, or discovering the incredible connections between spiders, arachnids, and other animals, you’ll see just how essential these creatures are! Spiders provide natural pest control, serve as a valuable food source for other animals, help maintain ecological balance, contribute to medical research, and so much more. The simple fact is—WE NEED SPIDERS! Show your kindness this week by taking a closer look at the amazing spiders around you, or visit butterflies.org to plan your trip to Butterfly Pavilion today! #BeKindToSpidersWeek #Spider #Tarantula #ButterflyPavilion #CultureForAll 📸: Joanne Ashton with Butterfly Pavilion
