Predation

Although many people find spiders either disgusting or creepy, they help the environment very much. They trap flies and other insects in their webs to use as a source of food. This method of consuming food is called predation. In this instance the spider is the predator and whatever lands in its web is the prey that it utilizes as its food source. Although the spider is absent from this picture, there are still several small insects in the web that the spider, who created the web, will later eat for food.
