    you may besides ask your self what are YOU on earth for. specific, all animals have a place on earth, yet that doesn't propose that they exist purely to fill that area of interest. guy species are able to taking on different species roles in an atmosphere. purely considering the fact which you're at a ball interest and you get a warm canines, does that mean you went to the ball interest to get a warm canines? probable no longer. So purely because of the fact spiders are here and that they help administration insect populations that doesn't propose that its their reason for being in the international - numerous issues consume bugs. of course, this does not slot in along with your perspectives for people who be a creationist who believes that each thing in the international grew to become into created with a particular objective.

    Spiders are perhaps the most misunderstood critter there is. They are as beneficial to mankind as the honey bee. They keep insect populations in balance and are very beneficial in gardens,eating insects that may damage crops and flowers. If you had any idea just how many insects a house spider rids from your home in a year, you would welcome them with earnest.

    They are not the bad guy all the hyperbole has them made out to be, they are actually more your friend, than your enemy.

    If not for a few of my 8 legged buddies around the house, the crickets would eat me alive.

    Not to mention doing a number on the roaches I detest.

    of course they have a purpose, they get rid of flies and other bugs. without spiders there would be loads of flies around your house ect.

    i dont know, i dont think anything has a point, thanks to evolution, it just is.

    spiders trap insects, and stop insects rom bugging you, insects that could lay maggots around the place. spiders also make lovely webs which catch dew and look nice.

    nothing has a point really. i mean, whats the point of a blobfish? no one even knew it was there anyway, and it just sits there looking phlemmy.

    ah-HA!!! if there wasnt the spider in charlottes web, the little piggy would have died. theres a good point - spiders exist to save piglets from certain doom.

    What's the point of humans? They just take up space, pollute the environment and consume all its resources.

    They have a huge purpose! The kill mosquitos and other bugs that annoy the living crap out of you. They are awesome, although when I see one, I freak out. But they are really useful. They don't just come out and "bug" you.

    They eat pests, like flies. If we didn't have spiders there would be heaps of flies around.

    It is their life. They just make living.
