"WHAT SPIDER IS IT?" If you want to know the identity of a spider or other arachnid you have encountered, send a digital photo of it to Dr. Rovner. Otherwise, use the following methods:
-
BEST METHOD: Compare
the spider with pictures provided in an illustrated guide such
as SPIDERS AND THEIR KIN by Levi et al (St. Martin's
Press. ISBN 1582381569), available in local bookstores
and the internet
for about $7 or less.
-
ALTERNATIVE METHOD: Examine
pictures via the Internet: We have some at our
site, and we provide links
to other arachnology sites on the web. In particular,
you should try the following sites:
