PRODUCT SUMMARY
Found in virtually every climate and habitat, spiders are arachnids (not insects), and this program examines all facets of spider life -- webs and the spider's use of silk, eating habits, growth and molting, mating habits and care of the young. Scorpions, resembling miniature lobsters, are relatives of the spider, and they each possess a poisonous stinger. The program reviews the lifestyle of scorpions and later presents tips on creating a spider habitat for common house or garden spiders. Part of the Bug City Video Series, an engaging series created to help kids learn about insects and arachnids. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"
...
Super (natural) close-up footage of bugs in the wild, great believe-it-or-not bug trivia, and a solid introduction to the basics of insect biology make Bug City an entertaining and informative choice for both public and curriculum collections. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice."
- Video Librarian"
The programs offer enlightening commentary, beautiful close-ups, and interesting asides about ants, beetles, bees, butterflies, ladybugs, and spiders. The well-written script and spectacular footage illustrating habitats, physical attributes, reproductive stages, protective mechanisms, and adaptive behaviors should prove to be intrinsically captivating."
