Invertebrates can be found across all areas of zoos and aquariums, from specialized exhibits, to being used in close encounters with visitors and for live food. This is why this invertebrate workshop is perfect for any keeper working with invertebrates from stick insects to tarantulas. The workshop will cover the variety of techniques to care for and displaying a range of different species, and will look towards future requirements for the husbandry.
