Found a beautiful spider in a long walk in Gardens by the Bay in Singapore today. It was a very very small spider 🕷️- but magnified we can really see the beautiful architecture - 8 eyes visible below.
The context of this post is a new partnership we are exploring with Science Center, Ministry of education and multiple science education organizations in Singapore. It was incredible to spend time with many of educators across the country - many of whom have spent more than 40 years building remarkable education programs.
Back to the spider - see if you can observe all hairy body and identify all the appendages.. Il
Cheers
