The world doesn't need spiders

Seriously what do they offer other than being creepy, scary and some cases dangerous? If there was button to wipe em all out, I'd press it immediately. They add nothing and we'd be better off without em.

They eat flies, other than that just scarily move in different directions very very quickly!

Eleanor I am sure will give us a write up of how good they are........ Smile

You asked for it! Blame Janey, not me! Big Grin

Spiders are extremely important for insect control. Big Grin

They are actually the largest group of predators in the world! They munch on insects that carry diseases and destroy crops, so if they weren't around, we'd be hungry and germy, with insects buzzing around all over the place (also the minor issue that we'd probably die within a few months as a result!) They're also important for wasps, who have their own role in the ecosystem, as wasps lay their eggs on spiders. Big spiders and tarantulas also keep down rodent and lizard populations! Big Grin

They're also suspected to control Rabies, as it's thought that some of the larger ones prey on bats as well.

... Hehe Big Grin

I'm happy to put up with a few more insects if it meant no more spiders.

You'd get some horrible disease that makes your genitals turn black and drop off, then you'd run out of food and die. Tongues

I think most would agree here Steve that your opinons on anything carry more merit if your not sober Laughing
