The earth would be in much worse shape if ants became extinct. Some people claim our entire ecosystem would fall apart. Ants eat decaying matter, aerate the soil and help distribute seeds. They are very important to our world.

What would happen if you swallow a spider?

I'm guessing that if the spider was poisonous you would immediately die... but if it was non venomous then it wouldn't do you any harm. The average person eats 13 spiders per year in their sleep, because spiders like warm damp places, so I'd say they're great protein.

It is unlikely that fish would eat spiders as they are not a natural part of their diet. Fish typically consume insects, smaller fish, and other aquatic creatures. Spiders are terrestrial organisms and would not be readily accessible to fish in their natural environment.


Do humans eat spiders in their sleep?

You would hope not but apparently its about an average of 8 spiders per week *Average of none you mean. You can't swallow a spider without waking up, and if you were to swallow a spider while sleeping your mouth would have to be open (and facing straight up) very wide, and the spider would have to climb down its silk line perfectly into the back of your throat without touching your lips or tongue. The second it reaches your throat you would have to take a swallow and let it go down.. All in all, it just doesn't happen.

What would happen if all spiders were dead?

If all spiders were dead, well, the world would basically be taken over by bugs. Since the spiders aren't around to eat the bugs, we'd have to rely on frogs to catch all the bugs and eventually, we may end up having to eat bugs. I don't know for sure what would happen, but that is my opinion.
