Best Answer

Tarantulas and other Spiders are classified as arthropods by virtue of their physical characteristics. In taxonomic classification arthropods branch into two major subcategories, the chelicerates which include arachnids, and the mandibulates which includes the myriapods, crustaceans and insects. These all share the broad definition of arthropoda which is characterized by joint appendages and possession of an exoskeleton.
