Adventures in the Spiderverse – Friends of Sturt River Landcare

With patience, determination and some wonderful kit, spider-loving landcarer, Cindy Macardle, has been assiduously photographing the many miniature creatures of Oaklands Wetland for a number of years.  In this special presentation, Cindy will use her collection of macrophotography to introduce you to the fast-moving world of insects who now live in and around the wetlands.  

She will use her collection of photos to explain:

• the diversity of wetland insects
• interactions between insects and plants
• predator and prey relationships
• symbiotic relationships 
• behavioural studies
• conservation, education and tips for field techniques.

MEETING POINT: We will meet in the Oaklands Education Centre on the northwest corner of Oaklands Wetland, 237-265 Oaklands Road.  It is a small building behind the skate park car park visible from Oaklands Road.

Come, look and listen as Cindy shares the secret world of the spiderverse.
