Do you know that spiders are not insects? Insects have three body parts—head, thorax, and abdomen—and six legs that grow from the thorax. However, spiders have only two body parts—cephalothorax and abdomen—and eight legs, so they are not 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 humans. This book will introduce the "wolf spider" from the venomous spider family and the "orb-weaving spider," which is skilled at spinning webs. Spiders, often overlooked by humans, actually possess extraordinary abilities. Wolf spiders are noble mothers who would sacrifice themselves to protect their egg sacs; while orb-weaving spiders can spin 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!
