 Spider Webs
All spiders spin webs. That's because webs help spiders. Webs help spiders do three
things. Webs help spiders hold eggs. Webs help spiders hide. And webs help spiders
catch food.
Webs help spiders hold eggs. Many spiders like to lay their eggs in their webs. The
webs help keep the eggs together. Webs help spiders keep their eggs safe.
Webs help spiders hide. Most spiders are dark. They are brown, grey, or black. But
spider webs are light. They are white and cloudy. When spiders hide in their webs, they
are harder to see.
Webs help spiders catch food. Spider webs are sticky. When a bug flies into the web, it
gets stuck. It moves around. It tries to get out. But it can't. It is trapped! Spiders can tell
that the bug is trapped. That's because spiders feel the web move. And the spider is
hungry. The spider goes to get the bug.
As you can see, webs help spiders hold eggs. Webs help spiders hide. And webs help
spiders catch food. Without webs, spiders would not be able to live like they do. Spiders
need their webs to survive!
