CONTENT SAMPLE:

8. Spiders, with their wonderful diversity of structures and habits, are fully as worthy of
careful study as any other group of organisms.

9. Many, like this banded garden spider are beautiful creatures that build beautiful
webs.

10. Others are particularly interesting because of their complex courtship behavior.

11. And still others are remarkable for their stealth or deception while hunting for prey.

12. Yet spiders usually generate much less interest from scientists and nonscientists
alike than do their arthropod relatives, the insects, such as butterflies, aphids, moths and wasps.
There are probably two reasons for this.

SPIDERS AND THEIR ALLIES Slides order #408.........$42.50

Often associated with villains and among the most disliked animals, only a few
spiders are harmful to man. Many are colorful and attractive; the webs of some are true
engineering marvels. Presents egg laying, molting, webs, feeding habits and identification
of common spiders. 20 slides and guide.

CONTENT SAMPLE: 102 Spiders are similar to insects, but they are a separate
group of animals. They have eight legs while insects have six. Spiders are carnivorous--they eat
other animal forms such as insects, small invertebrates and sometimes, each other. Many, but
not all, spin webs. These can be of several kinds as we will see. Spiders live in webs, in holes
in the ground, among vegetation, etc. Some snare their prey, some chase it and capture it.

We begin our look into the spiders’ world with this lovely orchard spider (Leucauge).
This is a female, you can tell because of the large abdomen. The male is smaller and less of his
body is devoted to abdomen--he doesn’t have to lay eggs. This is a very graceful and common
spider in the eastern United States and in the tropics.
