Cute Spiders are strutting out in Paris...

Over 40.000 known species worldwide,
5.700 in Europe and around the Mediterranean basin,
1.600 in France... and all different.

The predatory behavior of the spider gives him bad press. Yet the properties of its silk
thread, of its venom, as well as its voracious appetite for many insects make the spider
a valuable ally for the human race.
Spiders are therefore the subject of numerous scientific studies, because they are still
far from having revealed all their secrets.

Follow this Parisian arachnid and don't miss the 'Au Fil des Araignées' exhibit,
opening today at the Musée National d'Histoire Naturelle.
