[hardlucktattoo]

Ok so I will be running a T exhibit for earth day at a community museum I know I am not the most knowledgeable on all aspects of the hobby but any and all advice suggestions will be greatly appreciated I will be trying to stock up on more species to make a better exhibit if anyone knows or has some Ts that they are willing to discount some so I can prepare a better exhibit it would be greatly appreciated

I would first of all, jot down notes on some 3x5 cards. Figure out how you want to start the demo and where you want to go from there. Don't go word for word, just take notes.

No point in getting H. lividum unless you want to demonstrate their burrowing capability. If that's the case, put it in a dark room to burrow and leave it there, so when you demo it, you can see the burrow and it won't be covered in webbing.

very cool I didn't even think of doing note cards that is a great idea it will be a good start but yes i did want to show off the burrowing capabilities i Kinda wanted to have a good variety my collection isn't very large as of right now and i have mostly terrestrials so i wanted to get some burrowers and a few aborreals to add to them

I would if you haven't done it yet take pictures of the T's and explain some of the different parts of the T's.

The 3x5 cards should contain the main points of the subject and you should expand those points with the information you researched. I'm about to do something similar. It hasn't been decided yet but an agricultural/harvesting company asked me if I wanted to do a presentation on the benefits of spiders and scorps.

i think A.geniculata, L. parahybana, nad N. chromatus would be good display Ts, also the ever vibrant brachys and grammos.
