About This Quote

A spider is a type of arachnid, one of the animals that make up the class of arthropods. Spiders are predators that catch and eat insects, worms, and other small animals such as frogs and even young birds. Unlike most spiders, Charlotte never had to go without food. She always had a job to do around the kitchen and she was a wonderful mother, bringing her babies to safety in a web when they were born.
