Unlike vertebrates such as ourselves, insects do not have lungs with which to draw in air; instead they have organs called spiracles, which passively admit air into their bodies. Because insects are small, compared to vertebrates, they have a higher ratio of surface area to volume, and are therefore easier to oxygenate.

Insects and arachnids (Spiders) do not have lungs. They absorb oxygen through their skin. That is why the giant insects in the movies could not exist; their skin would be too thick for them to absorb oxygen.Because,it is a invertebrate.

What color is a spider's blood?
Spiders have colorless blood. It is called hemolymph and transports nutrients, hormones, oxygen and cells. Spiders don't have blood, they have hemolymph. it is copper based not iron based. both of their main functions is to carry oxygen for respiration. copper rusts green, iron red.
Spiders have transparent blood?
Spiders have blue blood. In human blood oxygen is bound to hemoglobin which contains iron, giving it the blood a red color. In spiders, as well as other Arthropods and Molluscs, oxygen is bound to hemocyanin which contains copper, giving its blood a blue color. The same interaction that causes oxygenated blood to color, also causes iron rust to appear reddish and the oxidized copper to appear green. However, I have noticed no color in spider blood before.
Are spiders vertebrates?
No, Spiders are invertebrates.
How do spiders and insects breathe?
It does breath like most things, but uses something similar to a oxygen tank on its back and a small mouth piece. All spiders can dive to depths of over 100 meters and are trained to weld in complete darkness. Some spiders in Australia are equipped with flippers, and are recruited by the Navy to disarm small pockets of gas formed on the bellies of whales.
