    a bird makes a nest for a home just as a spider makes a web for a home.

    A spider makes a web to trap insects for prey. A bird builds a nest so it can trap insects/ reptiles that come looking for food in its nest.

    However, it doesnt mean a bird builds a nest only to trap insects. It could be various other reasons too, while this is one of them. Likewise, a spider might build a web for other reasons too.

    web means fixed net used to catch insects, which is made by a spider from the sticky thread that its body produces. If the answer is flower: bee then the explanation may be

    Spider eats insects from the Web.
    Bee eats nectar and pollens from Flower
