Its main goal consist of both establishing and supporting a communication tool for people interested in the study of Aracnida in the framework of a common language, especially regarding (i) the diffusion of arachnidology through data, events and activities of general interest, and (ii) the collaboration among its subscribers in scientific/divulgative activities, studies and projects. This should stimulate the data exchange and the discussion of ideas and will contribute to the training of people who are not specialized in arachnology, as well as to stimulate the diffusion of this scientific field around the world.

ARACNOLOGIA is enclosed within the virtual community in ENTOMOLOGIA, on the basis of RedIris, as a specialized thematic area, even though closely bound to the remaining activities and resources coming from the virtual community and with the underlying philosophy of collaborating, sharing and getting benefit from the development of a global project focused in the world of Arthropoda.
