  • Spiders and Other Animals That Make Traps

    Vic Kovacs

    Library Binding (Windmill Books, Aug. 1, 2015)
    There are animals that hunt, and then there are animals that wait until their prey comes to them. These animals make terrific traps that are sure to snap up their dinner when it walks by. Readers will be fascinated by these trap-making animals, including spiders that throw nets and spit poison, alligators that lure birds onto their nose, and antlions that build pits for other animals to fall into. This book covers the animalsÂ’ habitats, social structures, and anatomy, while explaining how their traps work. Fact boxes supplement this high-interest topic and give a deeper understanding of animal behavior and ecosystems. Fascinating text and bright visuals will make these sneaky hunters come to life.
