SALLY THE SPIDER: an enormous, science-education friendly, anatomically accurate house spider (Eratigena Atrica): ‘Sally’. See her first informal outing at Staff Bug Fest here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K8RuoDFhN4 (Video by the excellent Rafe Conn)
Sally is available to hire for museums and events. Enquiries to polyp@polyp.org.uk
She can be displayed either hanging from her own thread in a tall room, to avoid a large floor footprint, or horizontally on a stand. She has an impressive 4.3 metre legspan. Her successful museum debut was at EUREKA in The Wirral, UK, 2023… for Halloween!
She comes with her own poster & PLI, and I’m also very happy to accompany her in character as
‘Professor Arachnid’ to talk fab spider facts, and about how she was built from 80% scrap materials.
