Inhaltsangabe

A fresh layout, full-color photographs throughout – many of them new – and diagrams of diagnostic features make this a quick and easy guide for use in the field. The spiders are grouped into web-living, ground-living and plant-living species to aid identification. Each family is described in terms of the spiders’ lifestyle, habitat, size, behavior and venom potential, and the best collecting methods are given in each case. For those species whose venom is potentially harmful to man, the effects and recommended treatment of bites are discussed. This handy format book will appeal to anybody wishing to gain insight into the daily lives of spiders. It is packed with full-color photos and diagnostic diagrams.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The late Dr Martin R. Filmer enjoyed a life-long interest in wildlife, and for a number of years served on the committee of the Witwatersrand Bird Club. Discovering an interest in spiders, Dr Filmer pursued his interest academically, and decided to write on the topic to make the study of these intriguing animals more easily accessible to the general public. Despite devoting most of his time to the study of spiders, Norman Larsen still describes himself as a naturalist, with his knowledge ranging from tiny arthropoda to large mammals. Norman is also a skilled photographer, and is an Associate Arachnologist at the Iziko South African Museum.
