How are spiders helpful?

Many people find spiders disgusting or are afraid of them because they do not know much about these eight-legged creatures. However, there are very few species of spiders that are harmful to humans. Contrary to popular belief, spiders are not insects themselves, but feed on insects.

 They weave webs, in which their prey like flies, mosquitoes, and other insects get stuck. Spiders help us by eating insects that often annoy us. Without the spiders, there would be a lot more insects around us.
