Do all spiders and insects have the same number of body parts?
No. By definition, all spiders have eight legs. Insects have a varying number of legs (think of a centipede and millipede), but always an even number.
How are insects and spiders alike?
Both insects and spiders are arthropods, meaning they have exoskeletons and jointed legs. They both play important roles in ecosystems as predators and prey. Additionally, they both have specialized body parts that help them survive and reproduce, such as antennae in insects and spinnerets in spiders.
What insects or animals do black widow spiders eat?
Same as other spiders, BUGS!
Give 2 reasons for why spiders are not insects.?
The main reason is that spiders and several other little animals such as scorpions split of from the main evolutionary branch going one way, and insects split off from the main branch going another way, and that happened a very long time ago. The related reason is that the physical structures of spiders and insects are the same in that they do not have bones inside their legs and other body parts (so they have exoskeletons and are arthopods), but other than that almost everything about them is different.
Are spiders and insects the same?
Arachnids, by definition are eight legged invertebrate animals. While they both are in the arthropod classification, they still have differences. Insects have a three part body, two eyes, three pairs of jointed legs, and two antennae. Spiders do not have those, so the answer to your question is no.
What insect family does a spider come from?
spiders are like us they evolved from tiny tiny germs way back before the dinosuars and grew to what they are a long time ago and just stayed the same (like us). \ the same kid that posted who is casey kettell. spiders are like us they evolved from tiny tiny germs way back before the dinosuars and grew to what they are a long time ago and just stayed the same (like us). \ the same kid that posted who is casey kettell.
Do people call spiders insects?
No, in the phylum Arthropoda there are several classes, two being Insecta, insects, and Arachnida, spiders. This means that spiders and insects are related, but they are not the same and spiders are not a type of insect. Spiders and insects are at the same level of classification. There are several differences between insects and spiders. The first and easiest way to distinguish them is that insects have 6 legs, and spiders have 8. Insects also have three body segments, head, abdomen, and thorax, while spiders have just two, cephalothorax and abdomen. Spiders are always wingless, but most adult insects have wings. There are a few exceptions such as walking sticks, fleas, silverfish, springtails, thrips, and in some species just one gender is wingless, such as the velvet ant. This is not a good way to tell the difference between spiders and insects, because there are a few adult insects without wings, and all immature insects are wingless, they don't get wings until they become adults.Spiders fall in the class arachnid (Arachnida), which is due to the fact that they have 8 legs instead of 6 . Other arachnids are scorpions and ticks, to name but a few.Visually, you can distinguish them easily because spiders have eight legs, two arm-like pedipalps, and no antennas, whereas insects have six legs, no pedipalps, and two antennas. Spiders have two main body parts of about equal size, and insects have three body parts, a small head, a medium-sized thorax, and a large abdomen. Spiders have fangs, and almost all spiders deliver venom through their bites. Insects do not have fangs but some of them have stingers that inject venom. All spiders produce silk from teat-like organs that extend from their abdomens. Some insects produce silk from their mouths when they are pre-adults, and they use this silk to produce shelters such as cocoons that protect them while they change into their adult forms. Insects mate by making a direct contact between sexual organs at the ends of their abdomens. Spiders use a complicated procedure. Male spiders deposit semen onto a special silk pad, and then absorb the semen into their pedipalps. They then approach a female, negotiate with the female, and if accepted by the female they will introduce their pedipalps, one by one, into the sexual organ of the female, which is located on the underside of the abdomen. Semen is then deposited inside the female spider.No spiders have wings. Many insects have wings for at least part of their adult lives. Almost all spiders live solitary lives, but a few species live in large but leaderless colonies. Many insects live in large colonies, and the individuals of these colonies may perform different functions on behalf of the entire colony. Frequently an insect colony has one or only a few sexually mature females who lay eggs for the entire colony, but female spiders do not demonstrate such specialization of functions within their colonies.These are only a few of the differences between spiders and insects.

How are spiders the same from insects?
They're not, because they are arachnids, 8-legged creatures.
Are tarantulas herbivores omnivores or carnivores?
Tarantulas live on insects, the same as common spiders do.
Is a spider an insect or a bug?
A spider is neither an insect nor a bug. Spiders belong to a different class called Arachnida, while insects are classified under Insecta. Bugs are a specific type of insect with specialized mouthparts.
What is a cepalothorax?
Cephalothorax means 'head chest', and it is exactly what it sounds like. Spiders have one, being the frontmost part of their bodies. Insects have a separate head and thorax, but spiders have their eyes and jaws (head) on the same part as their legs (thorax in insects).
