Some spiders even gather in groups to impersonate ants in astonishing displays of collective mimicry. The Lives of Spiders explores these and other wonders, blending stunning imagery, lively writing, and the latest science to explore the natural history of the world's diverse arachnid life.

Download or read book Spiders Intricate Masters of Horror written by Dr. Richard A. NeSmith and published by Applied Principles of Education & Learning. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are spiders really the horrifying, frightening, creepy creatures we mentally believe them to be? Are they really Intricate Masters of Horror? Well, they are if you have no knowledge of them. The truth of the matter is that nearly all spiders are harmless to humans, but not so for insects and other small creatures. Spiders are unique in that they digest their food outside of their bodies, injecting both digestive and neurotoxin chemicals into their prey, causing a nice liquid “chicken soup,” which they delightfully dine on. With over 3,000 species in North America, learning something about arachnids can not only be interesting but can reduce your fear of them.
