July 10 deadline for spider post card drawing contest
Mangaluru: A state-level spider painting competition on the postcard is being organised by Team Saaliga and Mysuru Science Foundation in collaboration with India Post, Mysuru division.
The deadline for entries is July 10.
The theme of the painting competition is 'Spiders of India', and the competition is open to primary and high school students across Karnataka, said Dr Abhijith APC from Team Saaliga.
He said that the spider should be from the Indian subcontinent, preferably from the local vicinity, and the postcard of India Post has to be used. This is an attempt to spread awareness about spiders.
A release stated that participants are encouraged to unleash their creativity and explore the amazing world of spiders through their artwork.
Students are advised to draw a picture of a spider on one side of the postcard. On the reverse side, they must write their address, including name, class, category (primary or high school), school name, complete home address, and WhatsApp number. All entries should be addressed to GB Santhosh Kumar, #621, Sangeetha, Sathagally, Shaktinagar Post, Mysuru, 570029.

These include exploring spider diversity, using real-life references by observing spiders in their surroundings, learning about the more than 50 spider families and over 3,000 species in India, and utilising online resources such as iNaturalist and the India Biodiversity Portal. Students are also encouraged to find inspiration in news stories about newly discovered spider species, capture spider behaviour in action, and observe the clever camouflage techniques used by many spiders.
Scenes such as building or resting on a web, hunting, jumping, fighting, defending territory, or a mother spider protecting her eggs are suggested as possible subjects. Participants are also encouraged to study how spiders mimic dried leaves, ants, snails, wasps, tree bark, or twigs, and to use these observations to add realistic or imaginative touches to their drawings, the release added.
