About the book: 

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of southern African spiders – they come in all shapes and sizes, and are more colourful and clever than you think! This jam-packed children’s book unpacks where spiders live, what they eat, how they hunt, what venom they have and how they protect their babies. Striking macrophotography showcases the world of spiders like never before. Meet a spider that spits sticky silk, one that hides in seashells, another that pretends to be an ant . . . and over fifty more – from the familiar Daddy Long Legs to exotic-looking Flower Crab Spiders, spiky Hedgehog Spiders and well-camouflaged Bark Spiders.
