Thank you, Cathy! Lovely to hear about your experience getting to know Rod… and I’m glad that you’re less squeamish about spiders now!

It’s fascinating to think this abundance of life exists everywhere right under our noses.

I met Rod when volunteering at Bug Blast at the Burke, through Scarabs: The Bug Society monthly zoom meetings (free for anyone to attend), and at his spider presentation at Cedar River Watershed Education Center years ago. He is an amazing man who has contributed much to spider and insect knowledge and you’re so lucky to have had him as your “private” tutor!

Because of Rod and his willingness to share his expertise, I’m not quite as squeamish about spiders as in the past!

Cathy
