On the food chain, pillbugs are important because they are decomposers. Pillbugs or sowbugs belong to the class Crustacea and eat decayed plant and animal matter. This helps to clean up this debris and return important nutrients to the soil.

Why are the black widows important to nature?

All spiders are important to nature. They eat bugs which helps to prevent overpopulation. The black widow, however, is as unique as any spider is, but it STILL EATS BUGS. Some are venomous, like the black widow, for an instant. Although they DO control the amount of bugs, some are deadly, so I'd suggest killing them on sight. That is, unless it's pregnant. Then all the little spider~babies scatter everywhere. *shudders* Hope this helped!
