Spiders
of the World
They spin their web to trap
quarry, but they haven't yet snared the affections of most humans.
Currently, over 30,000 species of spider have been recognized, and they
occupy nearly every terrestrial habitat, from the highest mountain peaks to
the depths of the largest cave. From damp marsh to desert, they can find
something to dine on. Some can even dive into water! These superb original
photographs, clear diagrams, and informative text cover classification of
all the thousands of different arachnid types. Special attention focuses on
defense mechanisms, mimicry and camouflage, courtship and mating rituals,
prey capture and feeding behavior. Drawings show the way they grasp thread,
and their anatomical structure. 192
pages.
