Spiders and Their Webs

Darlyne Murawski photographed spiders & their webs for National Geographic. Her dazzling pictures & lively narrative will show you spider webs as you ve never seen them before. You ll meet spiders that trick bees by making flower-like patterns in their webs & others that toss their webs like nets or use them like slingshots. There s a tiny Hawaiian spider that flings strands of silk with its hind legs to 'lasso' a meal, & a spider that uses its web to make an air-bubble house -- underwater! But that s not all. You ll learn how to make invisible webs visible, about other ways spiders use their silk, & what it takes to be a National Geographic photographer. Full-color photos.
