These pages include articles about spiders, harvestmen and other arachnids written for the 7-15 age group by BAS experts. Most are reproduced from the Amateur Entomologists' Society's Bug Club Magazine for children interested in insects and related animals. The club is a great way to learn about the different types invertebrates and how to study them. We also include a Q&A article from Eco Kids Planet, a colourful and informative science and nature magazine for 7 to 11 year olds, and an extended article (as well as a Bug Club article) written especially for this page by Ladybird Spider expert Ian Hughes.
