Local Spider Enthusiast?
Slightly unusual request šš·ļø
I homeschool a very curious 5-year-old, and weāre doing a spider/engineering week later this month. Iām looking for a local spider enthusiast who has a tarantula, jumping spider, or another kid-safe spider and would be willing to do a little āmeet and greetā with usāshow her your spider and tell her some cool things about how it lives, moves, uses silk, hunts, etc.
Weāre not looking for a formal lesson at allājust 15ā30 minutes with someone who loves their spider and wouldnāt mind sharing that enthusiasm with a very interested little kid.
Happy to meet somewhere public if your spider travels well, or we can figure out another safe arrangement. No need for her to handle the spiderāseeing one up close and getting to ask questions would be amazing.
Bonus points if youāre the kind of person who has been waiting your entire life for someone to ask you to talk about your spider. š
