Ladybird Spiders event, delivered and displayed at RSPB Arne in Dorset, invited young people to come and learn about Ladybird Spiders and then create art using natural materials around them.
Ladybird Spider
This colourful creature lives on lowland heathland, building vertical, silk-lined burrows, crowned with a silk canopy which they use to ambush the insects they feed on. Females and immature males are mostly black; the males develop that glorious red abdomen with black spots once they are ready to breed.
