Wolf spiders have large furry faces with big eyes, but these benignlooking creatures are as fearsome to an insect as any spider in existence. Most wolf spiders chase their prey instead of catching it in a web, hunting down the unlucky insect and chewing it up with strong jaws. Male wolf spiders attract females attention by dancing, or by presenting the female with a fly wrapped in silk. Readers of this book will be fascinated by this spider and the ways in which it lives and hunts.

Jumping spiders can jump up to 4 times their own body lengths! These large-eyed, furry spiders are often kept as pets by people, and can be trained to jump from finger to finger on their owner’s hand. However appealing-looking they might be, jumping spiders are also ruthless carnivores, as an incredible photograph of their jaws and fangs in this book shows. This book will teach readers about these amazingly athletic spiders and the ways in which they live and hunt.
