Why do bugs curl up there legs when the die?

It's because they only have one muscle, that bends in that direction. When a human goes through rigor mortis, we don't contort in angles because we have two sets of muscles in our arms and legs. Spiders don't, so when they die their muscles constrict, and their legs curl up.

What do spiders look?

Spiders have a head and an abdomen (belly). They have 8 legs and up to 8 eyes. Spiders have tiny hairs and claws on their legs that help them feel when a bug is in their web. The little claws also help to cut the silk when they are weaving their web. Spiders come in many colors, from clear to yellow to green to black. Female spiders are much bigger than male spiders. Females will live for about a year. (Daddy-Long-Legs are not spiders because they don't have a distinct head and a body. They just have one little circle with everything on it, and 8 legs sticking off. True insects, like ants, have three body parts: head, abdomen, and thorax [chest].)

What if your spider is curled up all the time and its abdomen is smaller than usual so what is wrong with it?

Your spider may be dying or dead, because spiders die with their legs curled up. Or maybe it is because there is no more hydraulic pressure in their legs. (Hydraulic pressure is what is used for spiders to jump, move their legs, etc.) Not sure about the abdomen thing though, sorry.
