Description:
Looks at arachnids in a new way, shedding light on the fascinating lives of these complex and highly adaptable creatures. Illustrated throughout with stunning photographs, author Paul Hillyard lifts the lid on the complex world of spiders, from their hunting strategies and amazing web-spinning skills to their extraordinary courtship displays and devoted care for their young. Written in an engaging, educational and thought-provoking style, "Spiders" also looks at why people are scared of spiders, why such fear is generally misplaced, and why we should be doing more to look after endangered spider species
