Brief Description:
Spiders are among the most diverse groups of terrestrial invertebrates, yet
they are among the least studied and understood. This first comprehensive
guide to all 68 spider families in North America beautifully illustrates
469 of the most commonly encountered species. Group keys enable
identification by web type and other observable details, and species
descriptions include identification tips, typical habitat, geographic
distribution, and behavioral notes. A concise illustrated introduction to
spider biology and anatomy explains spider relationships. This book is a
critical resource for curious naturalists who want to understand this
ubiquitous and ecologically critical component of our biosphere.
