This new guide introduces over 90 species, focusing on the more commonplace introduced spiders but also featuring some of our rare native species. It gives details on their taxonomy, geographical origins, range and preferred habitat, plus special notes on behaviour, life cycle or diet. A handful of our spiders are well known - the katipo for its feared bite, the elusive Nelson cave spider for its great size - but few have been much studied until recently. Respected arachnologist Cor Vink brings his scholarship and expertise to the text, while Bryce McQuillan's photography presents the spiders with extraordinary clarity and detail, making this an essential purchase for anyone with an interest in our eight-legged neighbours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"book-info margin20\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"margin20\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 no-padding\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"field-label\"\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"stock-info\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"product-field-label\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"'barcode_for_854721'\"\u003e9781869664039\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"product-field-label\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew Holland Publishers (NZ) Ltd.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"product-field-label\"\u003eImprint\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhite Cloud Books\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"product-field-label\"\u003eWeight (g)\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.15\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"product-field-label\"\u003ePublication date\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFebruary 2015\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"product-field-label\"\u003eProduced in\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew Zealand\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"product-field-label\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e: books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 no-padding\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"field-label\"\u003eOther Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"stock-info\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"product-field-label\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e: Cor J.
