Book overview

Despite their familiarity, spiderwebs are drastically underappreciated, and without them, the world as we know it would be overrun by insects. From classic orb webs and spectacular tent webs to hidden trapdoor webs and water webs that attach to the surface of a flowing river, The Secret World of Spiderwebs reveals the incredibly diverse ways spiders catch their prey.

The book explores how and why spiders build webs and features close to fourteen kinds of webs made by spiders from many different environments around the world. Revealing the artistry of these incredible natural structures, this book brings to life the spider-created natural wonders that are essential to life on earth.

Featuring foil-stamped illustrations that accentuate the intricacy of spider-web designs, The Secret World of Spiderwebs is a remarkable, beautiful, and spine-tingling tribute to spiders.

For ages 7+
