Some people are afraid of spiders. Sometimes we look scary, but we are really very helpful to man.

     

     Eeeek! The mere sight of a spider can strike fear in the hearts of millions. Arachnid means spider, and arachnophobia means fear of spiders. One of the most common fears among humans is arachnophobia, but there really is nothing to be afraid of. Spiders are actually very helpful creatures to humans. They help plants reproduce by pollinating them. They help recycle dead trees and animals back into the earth. They are a source of food for birds, fish, and small mammals. And, they eat many harmful insects, helping to keep your garden pest-free.
