Answer: 3/8 yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the beetle crawled 1/2 of a yard and the spider crawled 1/8 of a yard. To calculate how much farther the beetle crawl than the spider, we will have to subtract 1/8 from 1/2. This will be:

= 1/2 - 1/8

= 4/8 - 1/8

= 3/8 yard

Therefore, the beetle covered 3/8 yard more.
