Miss Warland brought several of her many-legged friends in to see us this morning. Geckos sat absolutely beautifully and asked some very thoughtful questions while she held ‘Daffodil,’ her pet tarantula. These included “why is she furry?” “Do they spin webs?” (sort of- they use their web more as a ‘carpet’ to cover themselves in a protective blanket!) “Why do they have 8 legs?” and lots more! Everyone then had the chance to examine the moult- a shedded skin- from another tarantula up close, and to meet Miss Warland’s beautiful Rainbow Stag Beetle (Kombucha!) and Flower Beetle.
