My interest in spiders was aroused in undergraduate school back in China, when I assisted in compiling the monograph "The Spiders of China" in 1998. Being deeply fascinated by their interesting behaviors, diverse body forms and genitalic structures, I fell in love with them immediately and have worked on them since. Along the years working on spiders, I also got a nickname from my friends: "Spider Woman"!
When a spider looks at you like this, or shows off like this, how could you not fall in love with these cute creatures?
