I found it easy to find a image of a Katipo to copy of the internet.
I found it tricky to find facts about Avondale spiders.
Next time i will change colours of Avondale spider.
My digital learning object shows that I can take photos and post them on my blog.
About the Avondale:
There is a statue in a suburb called Avondale in the west Auckland. Scientific name: Delena Cancerides. Phylum: Arthropoda. Order: Spider. Rank: Species. Species: D. Cancerides. Family: Sparassidae.

Hola Kylah,
ReplyDeleteWe used to find katipo spiders under driftwood at the beach - it always gave me a fright to see them. Why would you change the colours of the Avondale spider if you did this again?
Mā te wā,
