Spiders are men’s friends. The spiders are among our best friends. They destroy many harmful insects, including some of our worst enemies. There are the insects that devour crops,cause diseases both to us and to farm animals and torment our skins. Spiders do not have specific insects, which they prey on. They kill and eat whatever insects are available, though they do not usually prey on the large Ones. There are two main groups of spiders: the weaving spiders and the hunting spiders. These two groups differ in various ways. The weavers have bigger spinnerets (those parts of the body from which the silk comes out) and their legs are generally much longer, with special claws at the end. The hunting spiders (which do not spin webs) have smaller spinnerets and strong thicker legs. They have better eye sight than the weavers but the weaver’s sense of touch is more developed and they are highly evolved than the hunters.
