You can get books on Southern African Spiders, and the information on bites will be very much applicable to Kenyan spiders (as many of the same families and genera occur in both areas).<br />I would recommend "Spiders of Southern Africa" by Astri and John Leroy, and/or "Filmers Spiders: An Identification Guide for Southern Africa" by Martin Filmer and Norman Larsen.<br /><br />The best book probably (but very difficult to find) is: "African Spiders: An Identification Manual" by Ansie Dippenaar-Schoeman. No colour photos, though. But lots of very good info and line drawings. Very extensive coverage of all Afrotropical Spiders.<br /><br />At the National Museum, you'd have to get in touch with the Zoologoy - Invertebrate section to find out more, but I believe you have to write a research proposal in order to access much of their information.<br /><br />Hope that's helpful to you!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />ZarekKenya Naturalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750370528553410697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751111093486957787.post-73306971542592758632012-12-21T00:35:24.549-08:002012-12-21T00:35:24.549-08:00Hi,
