Spiders

Spiders have eight legs... and many of them spin webs to catch their prey... but how much more do you know about these fascinating, widespread but much maligned creatures?

Concentrating on 40 species of spiders that you are most likely to find in buildings or in gardens, this 8-panel laminated fold-out chart is designed to help everybody quickly to identify the spiders that they see.

Full colour illustrations, arranged by habitat, on one side, are complemented with a table of spider identification features, habitat and methods of prey capture on the other. Line drawings show the range of webs that can be produced by different species.
