Mr Whippy, the Tail-less Whip Spider, is one of the arachnids who could benefit from a new crowdfunding campaign to raise money for a new arachnarium for the University's SpiderLab. The team of spider scientists need £2000 to turn the old aquarium in the School of Life Sciences into a bespoke home for the SpiderLab live animal collection. The money is needed for new tanks, spider 'furniture', housing for the live crickets that the spiders eat and to expand the collection to include some of the rarest and biggest spiders in the world.
