How do spiders make their webs? How do spiders eat their prey? How many eyes do spiders have? This title takes a fun look at spiders through engaging photos and lively text.

Many people think that spiders are insects. But spiders are different to insects. Their bodies have two main parts, not three. They have eight legs, not six. What else do you know about spiders?

With their unique ability to spin silk that is stronger than steel, spiders make cunning traps as well as beautiful webs. This book brings you up close to these brilliant engineers, aerial acrobats, and super-successful predators. Discover the trap-door spider that can pull 38 times its own weight, the diving bell spider that lives its whole life in water, the bird-dropping spider that is a master of disguise, and more! Learn some fascinating secrets about the world's most interesting—and deadly—spiders. You'll never look at your eight-legged friends the same way again!

The Official Spider Test. What do you do when you see a spider? a. Lay on a BIG spidey smoocheroo. b. Smile, but back away slowly. c. Grab the closest object, wind up, and let it fly. d. Run away screaming. If you chose b, c, or d, then this book is for you! (If you chose a, you might be crazy.) I’m Trying to Love Spiders will help you see these amazing arachnids in a whole new light, from their awesomely excessive eight eyes, to the seventy-five pounds of bugs a spider can eat in a single year! And you’re sure to feel better knowing you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than being fatally bit by a spider. Comforting, right? No? Either way, there’s heaps more information in here to help you forget your fears . . . or at least laugh a lot!
