商品描述
To avoid any misunderstandings: this book is not about spiders as pets, but about those spiders that live in our houses and apartments as lodgers. Mostly ignored and sometimes (wrongly) feared, there is hardly a building in the world that does not harbour some species of spider. What is fascinating is that we always find the same species. These spiders must have special adaptations, because the humidity in our homes is far too low, they are too clean, and the food supply is usually scarce. However, those spiders that have made the leap into our four walls are rewarded with a worldwide right to stay. This, in turn, is due to people's eagerness to trade and migrate worldwide: Humans tirelessly transport their belongings and an endless stream of goods around the world in sacks, parcels and containers. And our domestic spiders, as stowaways, travel just as tirelessly and unrecognized. It is therefore possible to present domestic spiders found throughout the world in a single book, as they are essentially the same everywhere. The 50 or so most important species and species groups are presented here in a generally understandable way, with a detailed profile, photos and distribution maps.
The authors of this book are experts who work at museums, universities and in administration in Europe and North America. They are not only recognized scientists, but have also been avowed spider fans for decades.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
為了避免任何誤解：這本書並不是關於作為寵物的蜘蛛，而是關於那些作為房客生活在我們房屋和公寓中的蜘蛛。這些蜘蛛大多被忽視，有時（錯誤地）受到恐懼，幾乎沒有一棟建築物不會藏有某些種類的蜘蛛。令人著迷的是，我們總是能找到相同的物種。這些蜘蛛必須具備特殊的適應能力，因為我們家中的濕度過低，環境過於乾淨，食物供應通常也很稀少。然而，那些已經進入我們四面牆壁的蜘蛛，卻獲得了全球的居留權。這反過來又是因為人們渴望在全球進行貿易和移民：人類不斷地將他們的物品和源源不斷的商品透過袋子、包裹和集裝箱運輸到世界各地。而我們的家居蜘蛛，作為偷渡者，也同樣不知疲倦且不被認識地旅行。因此，可以在一本書中呈現出遍布全球的家居蜘蛛，因為它們在本質上在各地都是相同的。這裡介紹了大約50種最重要的物種和物種群，以一般易懂的方式，並附有詳細的資料、照片和分佈圖。
這本書的作者是來自歐洲和北美的博物館、大學及行政機構的專家。他們不僅是公認的科學家，還是數十年的蜘蛛愛好者。
