Spiders
There are different kinds of spiders. They can be found
around the world. Most like dark places, even in your
home, closets, or basement!

Spiders are very interesting. Some spin silk webs to catch

and eat prey, while others attack their prey. Some spiders
are big to eat lizards and mice! Some of us are afraid of
spiders since they bite. Most spiders, however, will only bite
if they think they are in danger and most are harmless.
Spiders are helpful to mankind as they eat insects.
