Abstract

This article describes spiders. Spiders spin webs in many shapes and styles. House spiders spin a tangle of silky threads attached to a wall or ceiling. Black and yellow garden spiders spin beautiful round webs with a zigzag of silk across the center. Spiders have a number of ways of catching their food. House spiders trap flying insects in their silk webs. Some can even eat small animals, such as birds, frogs, and mice. The water spider lives in a bell-shaped nest that it builds underwater.
