Publisher Description: A Field Guide to Spiders of Australia covers all known Australian spider families, using over 1,300 stunning color photographs to enable identification of commonly encountered spiders to the family level, and, in some cases, to genus and species. Highly accurate and vetted by experts, it contains the most up-to-date taxonomy information and is the most comprehensive account of Australian spiders ever published. With more than two-thirds of Australian spiders yet to be scientifically described, this field guide sets the scene for future explorations of our extraordinary Australian fauna. |
