VORTRAG | Von Jägern und Fallenstellern

Over 50,000 spider species are already known worldwide. However, it is estimated that there are twice as many that have yet to be discovered. The way in which spiders prey is just as incredibly diverse as their way of life. Spiders and their relatives, the scorpions, can be found wherever there are insects. Most of them live in the tropics, but they are also numerous in Europe with 4,500 species. They live in houses, in caves and also in high mountains. They are all survival artists whose skills will amaze you. Come with us on a colorful journey through the microcosm of spiders!

Are you interested in spiders? This year, our curator Dr. Gunnar Gad will guide you through the world of spiders in a total of three lectures. Please also note our reading with Lothar Müller on "Spiders. A portrait".
