Debunking myths about spiders, this book takes an extremely close
look at creatures that both fascinate and terrify humans.
An introduction explains what makes spiders unique. Then ten species are
highlighted with incredible electron micrograph photographs and
surprising facts. From diving bell spiders that live in bubbles
underwater, to spitting spiders that shoot venomous wads of spit at
their prey, to black widows and wolf spiders, this unusual book will
intrigue readers and help dispel arachnophobia. First published in 2015
as Spidermania, this title has been repackaged as a companion to Up
Close with Bugs (Bug Shots).
