The late Filmer and Larsen, a naturalist who studies spiders, offer a field guide to the 63 spider families in Southern Africa, organized by web-living, ground-living, and plant-living species
to aid identification. Each family has descriptions of lifestyle, habitat, size, behavior, danger, venom potential, and collecting methods, as well as effects and recommended treatment of bites
for potentially harmful venom. This edition has been revised and updated with full-color photos, many new, and diagrams of diagnostic features. Distributed by International Publishers
