The good news is that unless you live in Australia, you likely won't encounter funnel-web spiders in your backyard. Vacationing there, though, exposes you to more than 40 kinds of funnel-web spiders, and many are extremely poisonous. This book takes a look at many of these amazing creatures, exploring how they build their funnel-shaped burrows and where they like to live. With full-color photographs of these amazing arachnids in their foliage-filled habitats, readers will discover the wild world of these small but dangerous creatures.
