Nature Journaling at the North Museum October 20, 2018


Your Nature Journal can be purely scientific or it can be whimsical. My journals are usually a mix of both facts and fantasy!


It was Spooky Science Day at the museum. We drew the Jumping Spider, Salticus scenicus. Below the sketch I added some facts: it has broad horizontal bands across its abdomen, its fangs are used to stab its prey and inject it with venom, and its basic teeth crunch the prey when eating. 


Spiders need someone to scare even if it is only an old fashioned Pumpkin Head Man.
