Spiders Of Southern Africa

Educate, entertain and inspire

Spiders are everywhere, so common that there is an urban story that states we are never more than 2m away from the nearest spider! However, although spiders are familiar to us all, our perceptions of them are based in fear and dread. Behind out misperceptions of these animals is a world of fascination and wonderment. They produce silk, spin the most intricate webs, live fast and action packed lives and possess superpowers well beyond our own capabilities. 

The Creepy That Crawl Presentation

The Creepy That Crawl

The story of venomous creepy crawlies in your garden and home

A highly interactive and entertaining story of our relationship with the environment that focuses upon the venomous creepy crawlies that can be found in our homes (spiders, scorpions, centipedes and snakes). Presented in a workshop style, there are no visuals which promote interaction, allowing the conversation to ebb and flow to where ever the audience wants to go, pulling it back to a conclusion.

Venom

The human perception of a miracle of nature

For most people, venomous animals represent mythical creatures whose reputation is loosely sewn together with old wives tales, rumors, Internet hoaxes, hearsay and exaggerations. Behind their veil of venomosity, lies a hidden world that showcases Nature’s ingenuity and resourcefulness that promises to save humanity from itself.

On behalf of the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History (former Transvaal Museum), I would like to thank you again for such a wonderful evening lecture that you gave at the museum.

The public had been looking forward to this event and you surely didn’t disappoint. The presentation, coupled with your special brand of humour, made it an enjoyable evening for all who attended. The success of the talk was clearly highlighted by the large and diverse crowd that attended. It was actually the first time that we attracted even learners to an evening lecture.

We received a lot of commending letters from the public and they are already enquiring about the possibility of a future lecture on spiders.

  • Bite Me!

    How spiders can help us overcome the challenges of our time

    Bite Me! leverages our perceptions of spiders and their bites to demonstrate how our values and beliefs can be detached from reality. It’s a powerful analogy that connects to the audience deep down inside. It’s unique, a little bit strange, funny, has some epic poignant moments that teach us an important lesson about our values and beliefs towards the world.
