Summary:
Does your child love to find out what makes spiders and other top creepy crawly predators experts at hunting? They will be staggered at the variety of techniques invertebrates use to bring down their prey! Trapdoor spiders lie in wait, spitting spiders shoot out silk just like Spiderman, dragonflies twist and turn with incredible agility to catch prey on the wing and hornets are armed with deadly stingers. Different techniques and adaptations are examined in detail, showing how invertebrate predators are perfectly suited to their habitat and to the prey they pursue. Each spread has dramatic photographs and looks in detail at one invertebrate predator and focuses on its primary weapon, such as webs, venom or ambush. The prey animal shows us how it attempts to evade certain death, whether through camouflage, a speedy retreat or safety in numbers. Stat panels give readers a quick overview of how predator and prey stack up against each other.
