ON THE WILD SIDE

With Lily Woods

- 

SPIDERS are often voted the most hated creepy-crawlies in the world, but I don’t see why.

Saying that, even though I like them, I will admit to jumping when I feel an itch and one is suddenly on my arm. Who wouldn’t?

So, for spooky season I'd like to talk about the spookiest spider of them all... a jumping spider that is also a VEGETARIAN!

So, you are a pair of aspiring entomologists in America in the late 1800s. You head down to Central America to study the local spiders.

There, you discover brand new species completely unknown to science.
