520    Australians have a love-hate relationship with spiders. 
       Spiders inspire fear, especially dangerous species such as
       the Redback and Sydney Funnelweb. Yet, Peacock Spiders, 
       whose males spread a colourful fan and wave their legs in 
       a courtship dance to impress females, have won rapturous 
       appreciation worldwide. A Field Guide to Spiders of 
       Australia uses photographs of live animals to enable 
       identification of commonly encountered spiders to the 
       family level and, in some cases, to genus and species. 
       Featuring over 1300 colour photographs, it is the most 
       comprehensive account of Australian spiders ever 
       published. With more than two-thirds of Australian spiders
       yet to be scientifically described, this book sets the 
       scene for future explorations of our extraordinary 
       Australian fauna.
