In years past March 14th has been ‘Save A Spider Day’ sponsored by the ASPCA, but lately they don’t seem to care much about the spiders anymore for they don't even announce it anymore. Never fear, Audubon Society is here “Be Kind to Spiders Day”. http://www.auduboninstitute.org/media/releases/be-kind-spiders-day http://www.petfinder.com/for-shelters/animal-related-events-calendar.html Either way, I wanted to bring some small measure of awareness to the Katipo, one of the worlds' few recognized endangered spiders native to New Zealand (where else?). http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10006517 © A.
