What do spiders eat?

Spiders are carnivorous animals that feed mainly on various insects and other small arthropods. Different species of spiders have different prey preferences, for example:

Spider web spiders (such as spiders and golden thread spiders): mainly feed on flying insects, mosquitoes, flies, dragonflies, etc.;

Wolf spiders: feed on scorpions, centipedes, beetles, ants, etc.;

Poisonous spiders (such as black widow spiders and funnel web spiders): feed on various insects, including flies, ants, lizards, small birds, etc.

In short, spiders play an important role as predators in nature and play an indispensable role in controlling the number of other insects and small creatures.
