Science Events in Bedford

Dr Marc Milne will lead us on a hands on eveningfield excursion to identify and observe spiders at Buddha Preserve in Lawrence County. Spiders thrive in nearly every habitat on Earth—including caves and karst landscapes. Join spider expert and IKC member Dr. Marc Milne for a hands-on exploration of Indiana’s spider diversity. Participants will learn how to search for, collect, and observe spiders from a range of habitats using tools such as a beating sheet, litter reducer, manual aspirator, and a vacuum sampler. Dr. Milne will introduce us to the most common families of spiders found in Indiana and help identify specimens collected during the program. This event is perfect for anyone eager to learn more about these fascinating creatures. Registration opens July 10, but you may have Eventbrite send you a reminder in advance.
