Book Description
Jumping Spiders are part of the Salticidae family. In recent years, they have become a popular domestic pet for those who like to keep exotic and unusual creatures. Jumping Spiders are intelligent and can be great fun to keep as pets. However, be aware that these spiders do bite but only as a defense mechanism, so handle them with care.If you are in a country where Jumping Spiders live in the wild you can, in theory, find one in your local area for free. Some people will say this is unethical because wild creatures should be left in the wild. The flip side of this however is that you may be giving the Jumping Spider an easier and longer life than it may have in the wild if you keep it in the optimum conditions. Let's face it, in the wild they are at risk of dying at a young age either by being attacked by a predator, lack of food being available or due to extreme weather conditions. Indeed, some people take in Jumping Spiders purely for the winter and release them again when the warmer months arrive. This book teaches you everything you need to know to make you a happy spider owner and make your spider a happy pet. Covered in this book: -Buying your spider-Care-Common Medial Conditions-Costs-Enclosures-Feeding-Handling-Health-Molting-Most popular species as pets-One spider or more?-Settling in-Waterand much moreI hope you will enjoy spending time with your Jumping Spider

Nefertiti, the Spidernaut
Author: Darcy Pattison
Publisher: Triangle Interactive, Inc.
ISBN: 1684443261
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Read Along or Enhanced eBook: Most spiders spin a web and passively wait for prey to come to them. Jumping spiders, by contrast, actively hunt by jumping to catch their food. What if a jumping spider was sent to the International Space Station? When it jumped, it would simply float. No one knew if the spider could hunt in a weightless environment. This nonfiction picture book for elementary kids chronicles the amazing voyage of Nefertiti, the Spidernaut to the International Space Station and back. She’s a Phiddipus johnsonii, or Johnson jumping spider, native to western United States. Her colorful anatomy—red, black and teal—made for stunning photography and video. In 2012, Nefertitti clocked a record-breaking 100 days in space, during which time she circled Earth about 1584 times, traveling about 41,580,000 miles.

Field Guide to the Spiders of California and the Pacific Coast States
Author: Richard J. Adams
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520957040
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
With over 40,000 described species, spiders have adapted to nearly every terrestrial environment across the globe. Over half of the world’s spider families live within the three contiguous Pacific Coast states—not surprising considering the wide variety of habitats, from mountain meadows and desert dunes to redwood forests and massive urban centers. This beautifully illustrated, accessible guide covers all of the families and many of the genera found along the Pacific Coast, including introduced species and common garden spiders. The author provides readers with tools for identifying many of the region’s spiders to family, and when possible, genus and species. He discusses taxonomy, distribution, and natural history as well as what is known of the habits of the spiders, the characters of families, and references to taxonomic revisions of the pertinent genera. Full-color plates for each family bring to life the incredible diversity of this ancient arachnid order.
