Spiders spin webs to catch food, like a trap. Imagine you're at the park and you throw a ball into the air, that's kind of what spiders do. They use special threads they make from their body called spider silk to create big nets in the air or on plants. When bugs fly into the web, they get stuck, and the spider can eat them. Some webs are round like pizzas, and others look like stars, but all of them help spiders survive.
Examples
- A spider spins a web like a kid draws a circle with crayons.
- A fly gets stuck on the web, just like a ball gets caught in a net.
- The spider waits patiently on its web for lunch.
