They strike fear in many of us - the stuff of nightmares, eight long hairy legs slowly make their way towards their unwilling victim. For others they are a source of endless fascination and awe - superb hunters of the invertebrate world. Love them or loathe them, Africa's spiders are amazing creatures, whether small enough to fit on the head of a pin or large enough to fill a dinner plate.

Accomplished assassins but also one of Nature's master-craftsmen, spiders fashion exquisite webs of the finest silk - a natural fibre so tough its tensile strength is comparable to high-grade steel. Variations in size, colour, armament, hunting techniques and mating practices has ensure the continued success of the world's most prolific hunter.
