In this episode of the Bill Nye the Science Guy series, students learn that spiders are both arachnids (not insects!) and carnivores (not vegetarians!). The Science Guy debunks any myths about spiders being creepy, pointing out their value in removing insect pests. He also looks at the engineering feats performed by spiders when making their webs and presents the "Foo Spiders," who perform a parody of their song, "This Is a Call." Nye inserts his trademark humor and parody into the scientific discussion to create a fun learning atmosphere.
