Goliath Bird-Eating Spiders
Scientific American Investigates Spiders
Skeptical readers may not think a spider could take down and eat a bird, but this volume certainly proves it. Goliath bird-eating spiders stalk their flying prey, though––despite their name––they mostly eat insects and other easier-to-hunt victims. Vivid photographs of these creepy crawlers are featured throughout the volume, as accessible text and fact boxes guide readers to knowing all about the spiders at an age-appropriate level! Although they might cause the hair on readers' arm to rise, Goliath bird-eating spiders are harmless to humans and only bite when they're scared.
