It may be strikingly beautiful--but does it also strike? And if it does, what should you do? Potentially dangerous creatures crawl, scurry, and slither along the desert floor. Learn about their habitats, reproduction cycles, feeding habits, and hiding spots. The Wagners tell you what to do if you are bitten, stung, or harmed by one of these potentially deadly creatures. Spectacularly illustrated and entertaining to read, "Tread Lightly" also provides information about venomous or poisonous animals, including rattlesnakes, scorpions, Gila monsters, tarantulas, and black widow and brown recluse spiders. 70 color photos.
