"If you were to add up all the spiders in the world, they would collectively weigh 29 million tons."

"According to biologists, all of the spiders on the earth consume somewhere between 400 million and 800 million tons of prey in any 12-month period."

"According to estimates, the total weight of all human adults is 287 million tons, and even if you add in all of the children in the world, you still don’t reach 400 million tons, which is the low end of the estimate for how much spiders eat in a year."
