I know that some people are afraid of spiders. Spiders are wonderful creatures! They catch bugs for us. They eat annoying flying gnats. We should all treasure and appreciate spiders. Many Native American cultures have wonderful stories about spiders and how they help nature.

In biologic terms, spiders are of the order Araneae. They all have 8 legs. There are over 40,000 different species of spiders. Finding any book that shows "all spiders" is literally impossible! Most spiders only live for 1-2 years.
