My kids are asking me why did God create insects? Is it ok to play with spiders, for example? Or is it a symbol of the devil (like in Halloween)?

Insects have a very important role in the ecosystem. This link provides a simple description of their significant contribution to life. http://www.waldwissen.net/wald/tiere/insekten_wirbellose/wsl_insekten_oekosystem_wald/index_EN

Children should not play with spiders or other insects because some may be poisonous and cause them harm. We should teach our children to respect nature and leave these insects alone in their natural world outdoors.

Spiders are not satanic symbols but are often used as props for Halloween.
