Did you know that spiders aren’t bugs or insects? They are called arachnids because they have a different number of body parts and legs than insects have. Through startling photographs, learn how a spider uses its ability to spin silk, or a web, to live and survive. Spiders use their webs to live in, to catch food, to put their young in, and even to hunt! Discover the tiny world of the spider in this fascinating book.
