Bird-Eating Spiders

By P.V. Knight

Book Overview

Skeptical readers may not think a spider could take down and eat a bird, but this book certainly proves it. These menacing monsters stalk their flying prey, though they mostly stick to insects and other, easier-to-hunt victims. One of the most amazing things readers discover about this fierce predator is that--much like other scary, hairy tarantulas--they're mostly harmless to humans! Bird-eating spiders will only bite when they're scared or feel they're under attack, and it's only as bad as a wasp sting!
