As a nature lover, you have probably seen lots of spiders in the field while observing your favourite flora and fauna. Have you ever wondered what kind of spiders they were? This workshop will teach you how to field identify the common families of spiders in Manitoba using morphology, behaviour, habitat and habitat preference as key characteristics. I will also highlight some species that are easy to identify in the field.
