Synopsis
"Spiders" by Cecil Warburton is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a detailed exploration of the habits, characteristics, and various modes of life of spiders, particularly those commonly found in the United Kingdom. Warburton aims to enlighten the reader about the diverse species, their behaviors, and the intricate world they inhabit, encouraging personal observation and investigation into these fascinating creatures. The beginning of "Spiders" introduces the reader to a vibrant world of spider activity often unnoticed by the average person. Warburton describes how, during certain seasons, the presence of cobwebs and the industrious behavior of spiders become strikingly apparent, especially after foggy nights when dew accentuates their silken structures. He emphasizes the abundance and variety of spider species, dispelling common misconceptions about their occurrence. With a focus on the habits and life of spiders rather than collecting them, Warburton outlines the first chapter's intention to survey spider behavior, urging readers to actively seek out and observe these remarkable arachnids in their natural habitat.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -THERE are certain days of the year when the immense wealth of spider industry goingon all around us is revealed in a way calculated to strike even the least observant. We allknow¿and derive no peculiarly pleasant thrill from the knowledge¿that we can, if sominded, find abundance of cobwebs and their occupants by visiting the cellar or thetool-house; and probably we have all at times noticed, with a languid interest, largecircular webs on our favourite rose-bushes, with a spider motionless in the centre.But some spring or autumn morning, when the night has been foggy and the sun hasonly just succeeded in dispersing the mists, every bush and hedge is seen to be drapedevery square foot of lawn and meadow to be carpeted with spiders¿ silk. There has beenno special activity in the domain of these creatures, but every silken line is beaded withdrops perhaps fifty times its diameter, and what yesterday required careful observationto detect is now visible yards away, and we realise for once something of the prodigiousactivity constantly going on though ordinarily unnoted.And it never entirely ceases. True hibernation, if it ever occurs, is not the rule amongspiders, and there is no time of the year when some species may not be found at work.Beat trees or bushes over an old umbrella, or sweep grass and herbage with a sweepingnet in summer, and you will never draw a blank¿some spiders are sure to be found. Inwinter such measures are profitless, but if you take the trouble to grub among groundvegetation, or shake fallen leaves over a newspaper, or search under stones or logs ofwood you will have no difficulty in finding spiders enough, and by no means dormant. Ihave even seen an enthusiastic collector remove inches of snow and disinter rare speciesfrom among the roots of the grass beneath! 60 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9791041985432
