Ellis, Harry

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.

Godfrey, Michael A.

Abstract:

In this seventh of a series about wildlife species that have “Carolina” in their common or scientific name, Godfrey describes the Carolina wolf spider. This large spider is unusual for two reasons: it does not spin a web to capture prey, preferring to run it down, and it is among the very few non-vertebrates which show any interest in their young other than as menu items.
