Niet enkel de kruisspinnen zijn volop actief, ook wij hebben nog niet stil gezeten. Lees hier hoe we de invloed van urbanisatie op de aanwezigheid van hun prooien en de prooikwaliteit onderzoeken: spinnenspotter.be/nl/info/blog/w… & registreer jullie kruisspinnen met SPIN-CITY app.

Nieuw burgerwetenschapsproject! Tel het aantal kruisspinnen in de tuin en onderzoek of spinnen zich kunnen aanpassen aan de stad! Matthew Shawkey @BonteDries @Pieter_Vtieghem De Wolf Katrien #crossspider #CitizenScience
