Why not cut out the middle man and just have all the worlds spiders eat all the worlds humans? Joel Send a noteboard - 21/03/2017 04:28:30 PM

(y) A cockroach and 10,000,000,000,000,000 other insects like this.

Per this article in The Economist, there are 25M metric tons of spiders in the world. Together they eat 400M to 800M metric tons of insects per year. That's the equivalent weight of all the human beings on the planet. That's a lot of spiders. And a hell of a lot more bugs.

Bill Nye told me 80% of spiders are killed by OTHER SPIDERS. Which frankly seems terribly inefficient of Mother Nature.
