Abstract

Spider populations have decreased around the World. In this fictitious story we present some of the reasons that explain this problem, for example the unconsciousness of agricultural practices, the use of pesticides without considering the effect they have on many species, and even scientific practices. It is time for humans to rethink our habits and to modify them, if we wish to survive in this planet.
