Facilitator Bio:

Karlee Friesen is the Outreach Manager at the Victoria Bug Zoo. Though not a native species in Canada, Cave Spiders, or Ambilypygids, are Karlee's favourite arthropod species. They are an arachnid but not a spider, even though they look a lot like them.They use their front legs as antennae because they live in very dark environments and have very bad eyesight.
