Description

Have you ever accidentally walked into a spider's web and felt the sticky strands on your skin? Did you stop to wonder how so small a creature could spin such a strong and intricate home? Did you know there are over 35,000 species of spider, and many of these have been around since before the dinosaurs! Only a small number of spiders are harmful to humans, so why are people so afraid of them? In this book you`ll find out how a spider builds a web, how spiders shed their skin, how they catch food and all about an unusual soccer goalie!
