Description
Britain's Spiders: A Comprehensive Guide to Field Identification This fully revised and updated edition of Britain's Spiders is a must-have for anyone interested in identifying the spiders of the British Isles. With a remarkable collection of photographs and a focus on accessible field identification, this guide covers all 38 of the British families of spiders, focusing on those that can be identified in the field. The book provides detailed information on features that can be seen with the naked eye or a hand lens, as well as additional evidence from webs, egg sacs, behaviour, phenology, habitats and distributions. Individual accounts cover 404 species, including the "macro" spiders and larger money spiders, with clear explanations of the limitations of field identification. The new edition includes nine species new to Britain, many recent name changes, updated distribution maps and species information, and new guides to help identify spider families and distinctive species. With its comprehensive coverage and accessible approach, Britain's Spiders is an essential resource for anyone looking to explore the fascinating world of British spiders.
