Spiders have 8 legs and insects have 6. Spiders are under the Arachnids column and insects are under the insects column. Spider's don't have feelers (antennae) and insects do. Those are the most common differences between spiders (arachnids) and insects.

Insects have 6 legs and 3 body segments, spiders have 8 legs and 2 body segments.

Some spiders spin webs, insects cant. Some insects are herbivores, all spiders are carnivores.

DUH its simple! Insects have 6 legs, and arachnids (spiders) have 8 legs. Spiders spin webs, insects cannot. I am only 13 and I know a lot of differences between the two. Spiders have 2 body parts the main part and the abdomen, where insects can have more or less. Spiders have fangs, insects do not. Some insects can fly, and a rock would speak before a spider could fly. Insects can be herbavors, carnivors, or omivors, where spiders are only carnivorous. Spiders usually prey upon insects, not the other way around.
