∙ 14y agomost male spiders do indeed spin webs. In a small number of species the males are essentially parasitic on the female webs, hanging arund the edges eating insects that are too small to attract the notice of the much larger female.

∙ 9y agoBoth male and female spiders produce silk and can build spider webs in most cases. However, not all spiders build webs, the Wolf spider for example, does not.

Why do female spiders kill male spiders?
Female spiders have food on their minds almost all the time. They having mating as an objective part of the time. When they have mating on their minds that does not stop them from wanting to eat. Male spiders have several ways of identifying themselves as being of the same species as the female, so that she will let them approach to mate with her. Then most of them have their own ways of keeping the female from eating them as or after they mate. Some male spiders sacrifice themselves. Some female spiders sacrifice themselves to their babies after the babies hatch.Eating the male spider after mating gives the male spider's genes a better chance of survival. So, evolutionarily speaking, it is an advantage to the male to have his progeny get a good start in life. The same is true of the female. Spiders species often live for only once season anyway, so it may be unlikely that either males or females of some species will get a second chance at reproducing.So female spiders eat male spiders because they are hungry, but also perhaps because evolution has not found it expedient in some cases to give the males a good way out. In other cases, however, the males almost always are not eaten. Some female spiders even tolerate males to continue living with them.

Do chickens eat black widow spiders?
Not really, because black widow spiders are poisonous. ^That answer is not true! Chickens love all kinds of spiders. The spider is only poisonous if it bites the chicken. The problem is the BW spider usually comes out at night when the chickens can't see well in the dark. :( So unless the spider is out in the open during the day, the chickens probably won't eat it.
What do spiders look like?
Spiders have a head and an abdomen (belly). They have 8 legs and up to 8 eyes. Spiders have tiny hairs and claws on their legs that help them feel when a bug is in their web. The little claws also help to cut the silk when they are weaving their web. Spiders come in many colors, from clear to yellow to green to black. Female spiders are much bigger than male spiders. Females will live for about a year. (Daddy-Long-Legs are not spiders because they don't have a distinct head and a body. They just have one little circle with everything on it, and 8 legs sticking off. True insects, like ants, have three body parts: head, abdomen, and thorax [chest].)
