Our
Spider Friends
I don’t suppose that many of you think of spiders as friends, but that
is what they really are, because they
destroy so many harmful insects.
Frogs, toads, lizards, hedgehogs, and bats also eat insects, but spiders
destroy more than all these put together. Although many people think they are
insects, spiders belong to a separate class of animals called
Arachnids. This means the children of Arachnae. In Greek tale Arachnae
was famous for her spinnings, and most
spiders are marvelous spinners.
Some make the large cart-wheel webs that show up so well when covered in
dew drops. Others make silken tunnels, and the water spider makes a little tent
that it fills with air bubbles.
Females spiders have a bad
reputation as some of them eat their husbands, but they themselves don’t
live long after they have laid their eggs and wrapped them up in a silken cocoon. Although most spiders die
before their eggs hatch, wolf
spiders carry their cocoons round with
them until the spiders hatch out,
then the baby spiders climb up on the
the mother’s back and she carries them round with her.
