Language: Japanese with scientific nomenclature
In order to further improve the previous edition, which was considered the definitive guide to Japanese spiders, this book includes 598 species, reflecting changes in classification, changing the order of publication, and adding approximately 20 new species. In addition, the author has significantly increased the amount of information useful for searching and observing spiders, including new content such as explanations of points to look for in environments such as houses and rice fields, and methods for identifying species based on the shape of their webs and egg sacs.
