Spiders, Mussels, and More...
Spiders are fantastic, and you can explore the variety of shapes, sizes, and colors in Eight-Legged Marvels. Or, check out a scarce reprint of a classic on orbweaving spiders from North America.Freshwater mussels are important from a conservation standpoint (water quality issues), and many species are in danger of extinction. All known species from Pennsylvania are illustrated in color by naturalist Al Spoo.
Other books of interest include Bob Chance's collection of his newspaper column, Earthline, Al Spoo's newspaper column collections, Nature Notes and Nature Notes 2, stick insects of the US and Canada, orchids of the northeastern states, trapping large wild animals, Gosse's classic on British seashore marine life, and Izaak Walton's Compleat Angler.
