About this book
Meant for readers with no training in zoology, this 1902 guide describes the spiders most often met over much of the United States, south to Georgia and west to the Rocky Mountains. Emerton goes family by family, taking in crab spiders, jumping spiders, wolf spiders and the orb-weaving Epeiridae, after short sections on anatomy, silk, cobwebs and the catching and preserving of specimens. He chose features that can be seen without a microscope, and the drawings and photographs are his own.
