Regarding the post about ID books for spiders - I use two
references. An actual identification key is the book "How to
Know the Spiders" by Benjamin Kaston. It is/was a spiral bound
softback last published in 1978, but it is still available.
It's not specifically about NC, but it's very good. The second
reference is the Golden Guide Series book - 'Spiders and Their
Kin' by Herbert Levi. Your can't beat a good picture-based
guide book. We NCSUers prefer to look picture books and leave
the fancy reading to the folks at that college over in Chapel
Hill.

Thanks!
