Question

All spiders are carnivorous. Spiders eat insects including other spiders. Scientists often divide spiders into two types:

web spiders and ground spiders. Web spiders produce webs to capture prey, while ground spiders hunt prey directly

without using a web. Almost all spiders use poison glands to kill or paralyze their prey or to defend themselves.

Contrary to popular belief most spider bites are not dangerous to humans of the 40,000 species of spiders,

only about 30 species produce bites that may cause illness. Spider rarely attack humans unless they feel threatened, and

if they do bite, the wound is rarely serious. There is absolutely no reason to kill any spider or to call an exterminator if

you have spiders in your house. As an old English saying goes, “If you want to live and thrive, let a spider run alive!”
