Excellent photos submitted by teri on August 5, 2023, 2:18pm The Private Life of Spiders zeroes in on facts that most of us are unfamiliar with, and is written in an engaging style that kept my interest. From anatomy to web construction and behavior, this is a fascinating read. One thing to know in advance is that the book covers spiders all over the world - so if you're looking to identify a North American species, consider using a field guide. Spiders do not need to be scary creatures!
