Featured on the November 22nd, 2018 edition of ARIZONA SPOTLIGHT with host Mark McLemore:
- We may not want them, but spiders and scorpions often invite themselves into our homes. Jillian Cowles is a naturalist and a clinical microbiologist who is not afraid to enter the world of these often misunderstood creatures. She talks with Mark about the photographic odyssey behind her new book, Amazing Arachnids, from Princeton University Press.
The sand spider, Homalonychus selenopoides, takes a dust bath after each molt.
