书籍简介

本书介绍蜘蛛网的构造、功能和蜘蛛的生活习性，揭示了蜘蛛如何利用网捕食、交流和生存，以及蜘蛛网在自然界中的重要作用。

本书以精美绝伦的插图，展现了蜘蛛令人惊叹的捕猎技艺，并配有八页烫金工艺。

尽管蜘蛛网随处可见，但它们的价值却被严重低估。然而，如果没有蜘蛛网，我们所知的世界将会被昆虫占领（蜘蛛每年捕食并吞噬8亿吨昆虫——这大约相当于全世界人类的总重量）。由于蜘蛛网隐藏得如此巧妙，人们对这些美丽而致命的陷阱知之甚少。从经典的圆网，到壮观的帐篷网，再到隐蔽的活板门网和附着在流动河面上的水网，《蜘蛛网的秘密世界》揭示了蜘蛛捕猎的千姿百态。

本书采用烫金插图，突显了蜘蛛网设计的精妙之处，是对蜘蛛的一次非凡、精美且令人毛骨悚然的致敬。

《蜘蛛网的秘密世界》是全新儿童非虚构类书籍系列的一本，揭示了鲜为人知且隐藏的自然奇观，这些奇观对地球的生物多样性至关重要，包括浮游植物（提供地球上一半的氧气）、鸟巢（鸟类对重新造林、授粉和害虫控制至关重要）和菌丝体（森林中的连接真菌的地下网络）。

A glorious insight into the remarkable work of spiders, featuring eight pages of foil stamping.

Despite their familiarity, spider webs are drastically under-appreciated, and yet without them, the world as we know it would be overrun by insects (spiders catch and consume 800 million tonnes of insects every year – roughly the same weight as all the humans in the world). Because spider webs are so successfully hidden, very little is known about these beautiful but deadly traps. From classic orb webs, to spectacular tent webs, hidden trapdoor webs and water webs that attach to the surface of a flowing river, The Secret World of Spider Webs reveals the incredibly diverse ways spiders catch their prey.

Featuring foil-stamped illustrations that accentuate the intricacy of spiders' web designs, The Secret World of Spider Webs is a remarkable, beautiful and spine-tingling tribute to spiders.

The Secret World of Spider Webs is the first in a new series of children's non-fiction books that reveal under-appreciated and hidden natural wonders that are essential to Earth's biodiversity, including phytoplankton (supply half of the oxygen on Earth), bird nests (birds are vital to reforestation, pollination and pest control) and mycelia (underground network of fungi that are the connectors in forests).
