She also gave
me some more material to read on spiders and told me to start preparing
my essay on spiders. After doing a little bit of feeding as usual, I
went out on my own and collected few species of spiders. Then Madam
helped me identify them and also some other species of spiders that
they had caught. Spent the afternoon catching flies to feed to some of
the older spiders.
2nd December: Today I only did identifying of different species of
spiders. I took some material home to read and so I left early; was so
busy looking at the books I was carrying, I didn't notice the terminus
where I was to get off and got over carried much further. Had to walk
nearly half an hour back. Asked people for directions and finally
reached the terminus.
3rd December: Did not feel well today so I didn't go to CIKS. Read the
books I had brought at home. Started preparing my written report.
4th December: Today did feeding of spiders as usual. Then caught about
70 flies and fed them to the adult spiders. Put 2 spiders to mate and
made my observations. Continued writing my report in the evening.
5th December: Went to New College to collect my vermiculture report.
6th December: Did feeding of baby spiders first. Then caught flies. A
female spider's eggs had just hatched so Selvan and I did the
separation of the babies into individual containers.
