This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Spiders eat between 400 and 800 million tons of insects and springtails each year. In comparison, people worldwide eat 400 million tons of meat and fish per year. The enormous amount the spiders eat helps to regulate and control how many pest insects there are in different habitats, mainly in forests and grassland.Beh
