Our Approach
We aim to write in plain, clear English and to base our guides on reputable sources, such as university extension services, natural history museums, and published scientific research. Each guide lists its sources and shows when it was last updated. If you spot an error, please let us know through our Contact page.
About Our Photos
Photos are credited to their photographers and used under their stated licenses, such as Creative Commons. We aim to use only images in which the spider has been reliably identified.
