Do you know that spiders are not insects? Insects have three body parts: head, thorax, and abdomen, with six legs growing from the thorax. However, spiders have only two body parts: cephalothorax and abdomen, and eight legs, so they cannot be classified as insects. People dislike spiders only because of their ugly appearance. Spiders not only do not harm humans but also eat harmful insects like flies and mosquitoes, making them good friends to humanity.
This book will introduce the "wolf spider," a member of the venomous spider family, and the "orb-weaving spider," known for its exceptional web-building skills. Spiders, often overlooked by humans, actually possess extraordinary abilities. The wolf spider is a selfless mother who would sacrifice herself to protect her eggs. Meanwhile, the orb-weaving spider weaves webs so intricate that even humans cannot replicate them. What mysterious abilities do these tiny and repulsive spiders possess? Let's explore with Mr. Fabre!
