Orb Weavers
Hungry Spinners
From the Series Arachnid World
Be alert for a fancy spider web stretched across a path—it’s the trap of a hungry orb weaver! In this book, you will learn how orb weavers are similar to and different from other arachnids. Close-up photographs and diagrams reveal extraordinary details about the spider’s body both inside and out. And a hands-on activity will give you an idea of how the orb weaver can detect prey caught in its web. Learn more about this fascinating member of nature’s Arachnid World.

Reviews
School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
“Photos go beyond the standard portraits to show, for instance, harvestmen mating and multiple shots of ticks feeding. Each volume also includes multimedia resource lists and a science activity designed to provide insight on the arachnid world without actually involving any live animals. First-rate.” —School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
