Arachnid Diversity Eight legged Diversity: Spiders and Their Kin

Arachnids (spiders, scorpions, harvestman, and more) are little known, but they have incredibly interesting behavior, crazy anatomy, and they are all around us. Get a close up view of the diversity, beauty, and fascinating lives of arachnids. A few of the arachnids are omitted (Palpigradi, Ricinulids, Schizomida, Acarines mites and ticks) for brevity. The video is jointly produced by Cornell University s Naturalist Outreach Program and Ithaca College s Park Productions, with financial support from Cornell Cooperative Extension, NYS 4H Program and NSFDOE.
