If spiders across the globe unite, they could eat all humans on earth in a year, study speculates

The arachnid species consumes anything between 440.9 and 881.8 million tons of prey in any given year, which is more than the weight of all human beings combined.

This one is for all the Arachnophobics out there! A recent study has revealed that if the world's present population of spiders ever got organized, they could eat all human beings within a span of 12 months.

Although spiders mostly eat insects, some of the larger species are known to binge on lizards, birds, and even small mammals, the New York Post reports.

Experts said in a report published in the journal Science of Nature that the combined weight of all the food consumed by the world's entire spider population in a year is more than the cumulative weight of all human beings across the globe.
