Abstract:

The lampshade spider lives in North Carolina's mountains and has existed on earth for over 220 million years. It is also found in the Rocky Mountains and mountains in California. Coyle discusses this rare spider's weaponry, how its web differs from those of other spiders, and its lively sex life.
