Little Miss
Did the spider in Little Miss Muffet go after her food because insects like or go after food?
We all remember the Little Miss Muffet English Nursery Rhyme. Obviously, she ate curts and weigh. The spider frightened Miss Muffet away. However, did the spider when she sat down on her tuffet because spiders, generally speaking of insects like human food? Did the spider in Little Miss Muffet go after her food because insects like or go after food?
Some believe Little Miss Muffet and the spider symbolize Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-1587) and John Knox (1505-1572) a minister who wanted to scare her off the throne due to religious differences. Another story attributes the origin of this nursery rhyme to Dr. Thomas Muffet (1553-1604), an entomologist who wrote the first scientific catalogue of British native insects. It is believed the poem, Little Miss Muffet, was written for his stepdaughter Patience.
