For all Nature-lovers, this book takes us on a journey through a silky universe populated by creatures of unsuspected diversity in terms of their appearance, their hunting techniques, their childcare and their capacity to produce the silk so coveted by biotechnologists. Ensuring ecological balance as formidable predators, spiders form an essential link in the food chain. And are they truly dangerous for us humans? Taking an approach that is at one and the same time both scientific and artistic, this finely illustrated work comes up with some beautiful portraits of spiders.

Préface de Cédric Villani

Un monde méconnu

 

I) Une araignée à la loupe

Où vivent-elles ? ● Elles ont précédé les dinosaures ● Le grand inventaire ● Une vie souvent cachée ● Quoi de mieux qu'un insecticide naturel ? ● Une législation ciblée

 

II) Dans la peau d'une araignée

Qui sont-elles ? ● Des soies aux pattes ! ● Faire peau neuve et grandir ● Rencontres à haut risque ● Descendance assurée

 

III) Du filet au guet-apens

Manger et être mangé ● Pas deux toiles identiques ● Sans piège mais tout aussi efficace ! ● Réparation ou reconstruction ?

 

IV) Venimeuses ou dangereuses ?

Vous avez dit venin ? ● Danger réel ou non ? ● Araignées-violon et veuves noires ● Voyage au milieu des mygales australiennes ● Attention, pas touche !

 

V) Un monde soyeux

Des usines à soie ● À chaque soie son usage ● Araignées précieuses pour la science

 

VI) Que nous conte l’araignée ?

Les premières narrations ● Le fugitif ● Ananzé ● Arachné ● Symbole de création et de liaison divine ● L’araignée devineresse ● Dépositaires des esprits ancestraux
