Scientists have also found that a spider’s web is five times steel, which is very surprising! As a result, spider silk is thought of as perfect uses such as making fishing nets.

Spiders’ Benefits to Humans
In Cambodia, a southeastern Asian nation, the locals consider cooked tarantula spiders to be a delicious dish. In addition, the Piaroa Indians of southern Venezuela are also known for taking spiders as a delicacy. But of course, before spiders are made into a dish and eaten by people, their highly irritant hairs, a spiders’ main defense system, has to be removed first.
According to studies, though spider venom (the poison produced by spiders) is deadly to most insects, a great majority of it is harmless to those animals with a backbone, including humans. Thus, some scientists are considering substituting spider venom for conventional pesticides because the latter is usually harmful to humans as well as pests. Australian funnel web spiders are thought to be a promising source. That’s because the venom in them can do great harm to most of the world’s insect pests. What’s more, Australian funnel web spiders can grow well in captivity and, most important of all, are easy to “milk.” Some scientists are also trying to engineer genes for the production of spider toxins into viruses, and then use the viruses to infect and kill specific pests such as cotton bollworms.
At the same time, other scientists are doing various experiments to look into the possible medical uses for spider venom, and their potential for treating some diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, strokes, and certain heart problems.

文章摘要：
蜘蛛對人類的益處
在柬埔寨（一個東南亞的國家）裡，當地居民認為烹煮過的鳥蛛是一道美味佳餚。而在委內瑞拉南部的一個Piaroa印第安族群也將蜘蛛視為美味的食物。但是，在蜘蛛被製作成佳餚並且被人類食用之前，牠們的主要防衛機制，也就是具有高度刺激性的毛，必須先被移除才行。
根據研究，雖然蜘蛛的毒液對大多數昆蟲而言是致命的，但是大多數的蜘蛛毒液對於包括人類在內的脊椎動物卻是無害的。因此，有些科學家正在考慮以蜘蛛的毒液取代傳統的殺蟲劑，因為傳統的殺蟲劑會同時對昆蟲和人類造成傷害。澳洲漏斗網蜘蛛被視為是個很有潛力的毒液來源。這是因為這種蜘蛛的毒液可以對世界上大多數的昆蟲造成極大的傷害。此外，此種蜘蛛在被飼養時可以長得很好，最重要的是，可以容易地取得牠們的毒液。有些科學家也正試著把蜘蛛製造毒液的基因改造成病毒，然後利用這些病毒去感染並殺死一些像是棉鈴蟲的特定害蟲。
同時，其他的科學家則正在進行各種研究，以探索蜘蛛毒液的可能醫療用途，以及蜘蛛毒液在治療一些疾病方面的可能性，像是阿茲海默症、中風及某些特定的心臟疾病等。
