Succinct genus and species accounts cover identifying characteristics, breeding, behaviour, distribution and conservation status.
Colour photographs and/or illustrations as well as distribution maps support each entry.
Introductory chapter discusses spider morphology, spider life cycle, the functions of silk, as well as spider collection techniques.
Section on venom identifies species that pose a danger to humans, unpacks neurotoxic and cytotoxic venom, and details the symptoms and treatment of spider bites.
