Spider
Survey Update
CSS participants have sent in over
30,000 spiders! The DMNS now has the largest collection
of spiders in the state. During the first few years of
the project, hundreds of people were trained through the
CSS workshops and have sent specimens to the Museum. A
team of on-site volunteers is busily identifying the CSS
spiders down to genus and species. We have identified
about 65 percent of the specimens sent in by participants.
