What role do arachnids take in their environment?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Spiders eat mosquitos and mosquitos carry viruses like west Nile virus that are dangerous and even deadly to humans. They also eat other parasites, insects & vermin that spread disease to other wildlife and humans. Just their main purpose as far as I know...

For 3 years, we never had a single edible strawberry in our garden. Then, last year, we suddenly had hundreds! As I was gathering all of the strawberries, I thought I saw a rock move!? Upon closer inspection, the "rock" turned out to be a BLACK WIDOW SPIDER! I was barefoot so I couldn't step on her and couldn't take the chance on her getting away and risking a painful & dangerous bite, so I scooped her into a jar and we kept her until she passed from natural causes. She was eating all of the bugs that were eating our strawberries and once we removed her now we again don't have any edible strawberries. I learned a lot from her and now we try to educate people on how useful spiders are so they don't smash them.

Why do tarantulas eat birds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, they do. In a study in Miami, Florida, it was proven that some arachnoids (like tarantulas) do, in fact, prey on small birds. However, since hummingbirds are so quick, it is rare that a tarantula or other spider will actually catch the bird; usually, an injured or sick hummingbird is found, and the tarantula takes the bird back to its web, where it finishes the job.

Hope that was helpful!

Can some spiders make a ticking sound?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, as a child I heard them for years at my Mum & Dad's house. It's a very gentle tick-tock for about 20 seconds then pause for about 15 seconds before starting again. I have a different sound in my kitchen - which I can only describe as a fairy snoring. A regular, soft buzzing sound which, like the 'ticking' spiders can be disrupted by hitting the table or wall near to the sound - and I hear it in different parts of my kitchen on different days. Now, clearing mum and Dad's house - in the silence, the ticking spiders are still there, just like they used to be.
