Abstract:

The spider is one of mankind's most beneficial creatures, but its appearance is often frightening to those it helps. Around 3,000 species of spiders live in North America, and 1,500 of them make their home in North Carolina. Ellis describes a number of the spiders and their web building and hunting techniques.
