                                      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.
