Re: Spiders found in garden to ID please

Meta menardi,

Bristowe did publish another more specialised work in 2 volumes. This is "The Comity of Spiders", and it is available as a CD, republished about 5 years ago.

The second volume is mainly distribution lists for about 1945 and is more of historic interest.
Thank you

I’ve bookmarked one and will look for both later (very busy morning today).

One of the earliest ethologists was Henri Fabre, many of his texts were translated into English and are available as electronic texts. His "Life of the Spider" is very good, and well worth a read (just finishing it again).

And I’ll download that one too. I might also look him up in the original.
I really appreciate your recommendations. Thanks again.
