Winter squash is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, alpha-carotene and beta-carotene. It is also a very good source of thiamin, vitamin B6, potassium, magnesium, and manganese, and a good source of iron.
Spiders are, for the most part, such generalist feeders that they kill many useful insects as well as many pest species, however because pest species are by their nature more numerous than beneficial species they are still effective. They are of great value to the environment.
Spiders often get a bad rap, and some people are afraid of them. But only a few species are dangerous to humans, and even they wonât bite unless they feel threatened. Like so many animals, spiders are affected by habitat loss and by nonnative species introduced by humans that can often take over spider habitat.
