I was at my house with my neighbor Lauren, when she spotted a spider.

“Aahhhhh,” she screamed.

I quickly went over and killed it.

“I hate em’ (Spiders) they’re venomous, bite you and kill you,” yelled Lauren, looking at the black blob on the ground, “That thing scared the living daylights out of me.”

“Well actually they’re very useful,” I replied.

“No they’re creepy and poisonous,” Lauren replied, “Spiders are creepy, venomous, bitey and dangerous creatures.”

“Well it would be a disaster without them,” I replied, thinking of all the benefits of having spiders around.

“Who cares?  As long as there aren’t 8 legged creatures running around I fine with it,” she said.

Actually they don’t bite unless provoked.  You have to squeeze, squash or hit them.  When you’re bit, it’s actually your fault.  Not the Spiders.  The spider is only defending its self.

Being venomous is their weapon.  All animals have a weapon or a defense system to defend their self.  Name an animal.  Bees, their stinger.  Rabbits are fast.  Birds, they can fly.  Humans, they are smart.  Can you see?  It’s their gift.

Venom is not harmful to some people, but harmful to others.  It depends on the person’s age and health.  Some one very old or young with very bad health will have a big reaction to the venom.  On the other hand people with great health won’t even notice.  It also depends what breed of spider.  Some are more venomous than the other.

Spiders aren’t all that bad.  They help keep bugs away.  Without spiders your house will be swarming with bugs.  Spiders will make a web and catch the bugs in it.  The reason spiders don’t get caught in their own web is some parts of it isn’t sticky but only the spider knows where it’s not.

Can you see now?  Spiders aren’t all that bad.  They’re also very useful.  Now you know spiders are good.
