Is a spider an insect or a bug?

No, Spiders are not bugs.They're arachnids. Technically, spiders are not bugs since they are arachnids not insects. Technically only certain insects are bugs, belonging to the insect order Hemiptera. Therefore not all insects are bugs, either. The answer is yes. Bugs are small arthropods by definition. Arthropods include insects, arachnids, and crustaceans. Spiders are arachnids, so they are arthropods. Therefore, spiders are bugs.

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.
