naturalists identify spiders, as well as their common names,
typical habitat, geographic distribution, and behavioral notes. A
concise illustrated introduction to spider biology and anatomy
explains spider relationships. Featuring 82 gorgeous color plates,
this book is an accessible and detailed resource for curious
naturalists who want to understand this ubiquitous and ecologically
critical component of our biosphere.
