Comprehension-Make Inferences
The Importance of Spiders If you wish to live
and thrive, let a spider run alive. There is a
lot of truth to this old saying. One way that
spiders help us thrive is by keeping down the
number of insects. This is important because
many insects spread diseases. Insects also can
eat important food crops, making less food
available for people and animals. Some people
welcome spiders into their homes just so the
spiders will eat unwanted insects, such as ants,
flies, and cockroaches. Spiders are particularly
important to birds. Some birds use the silk that
spiders make as a part of their nests. Also,
birds eat spiders, especially during the winter
months when there are few insects around. In
winter, spiders are an important part of the diet
of many birds. Since birds also eat insects,
keeping the bird population strong and healthy is
one more way in which spiders help control
insects.

communicate.
