Checklist
of Kansas Orbweaving Spiders
by
Hank
Guarisco
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This issue is dedicated to my friend and teacher, Henry
S. Fitch, professor emeritus of the University of Kansas,
who so generously shared his interest and knowledge of spider
biology and natural history through the past 35 years.
I thank
Craig Freeman of the KU Herbarium for the generous use of
a microscope and camera, and Bruce Cutler of the University
of Kansas for sharing his knowledge of spider taxonomy and
for critically reviewing the manuscript. I am grateful for
the wonderful field trips with friends and associates throughout
the state, especially Cameron Liggett of the Sternberg Museum
and the participants in teacher workshops in Hays and Garden
City, and Bruce Cutler.
