About this ebook

Are spiders really the horrifying, frightening, creepy creatures we mentally believe them to be? Are they really Intricate Masters of Horror? Well, they are if you have no knowledge of them. The truth of the matter is that nearly all spiders are harmless to humans, but not so for insects and other small creatures. Spiders are unique in that they digest their food outside of their bodies, injecting both digestive and neurotoxin chemicals into their prey, causing a nice liquid “chicken soup,” which they delightfully dine on. With over 3,000 species in North America, learning something about arachnids can not only be interesting but can reduce your fear of them.

About the author

Richard NeSmith is a native of Florida, USA. He grew up wading through the swamps of central Florida with his two younger brothers during the pre-Disney era, and unknowingly, falling in love with biology, wildlife, and nature. He has lived in seven American states, twice in Australia, and once in Mexico City. He holds eight university degrees and has taught for 14 years in secondary schools, here and abroad, and another 13 years as professor in several American universities. His service includes professor of science education, Dean of Education, Campus Dean, as well as an online instructor. His passion for learning (and how we learn) did not develop until after graduating from high school, and his only explanation for this is that having a goal made all the difference in the world. He enjoys reading, hiking, nature photography, golf, and tennis.
