For many of us, fear of spiders overrules reason and precludes our taking a closer look. Yet, contrary to popular belief, arachnids are rarely dangerous to humans and they are endlessly intriguing, often strikingly beautiful creatures.

The spider identification guide adds a further dimension with factual information about the spiders.
