This great 8 page fold out identification guide to house and garden spiders features 40 common species of spiders found in buildings and gardens.

The guide features beautiful colour paintings of each spider by Richard Lewington. We have sorted these paintings by habitat, so you can quickly narrow down the choices. Use this guide to hunt for spiders in low bushes and vegetation, in flower heads, on outside walls and fences, in leaf litter and under stones, and even inside buildings.

As well as the paintings, the reverse side of the Spiders guide includes concise identification notes for each species. This text covers the key characters to look out for, plus house/garden habitat and web shape or hunting strategy. Even if you cannot find the spider that made it, webs are a useful clue. So we have also included line drawings that show a range of webs, including orb webs, sheet webs and tube webs.

These charts are designed to help identify a wide range of plants and animals.

They are lightweight and laminated to make them practical and robust for use outdoors.

Clear colour illustrations and text by experts in the subject make these a valuable resource for all age groups.

Further laminated guides from this series are available.
