The Orb Weaver

There are over 35,000 different kinds of spiders in the world. Out of them all, orb weavers are perhaps the most well known. The spider of Charlotte's Web fame, the orb weaver is the spider that spins the common wheel-shaped web that most people see in their houses. These webs, as this book shows with spectacular photography, are wonders of beauty, precision, and deadly efficiency. Readers will be introduced to the huge diversity of orb weavers.
