Spiders and octopuses belong to different phyla: spiders are arachnids (part of the arthropod phylum) and octopuses are cephalopods (part of the mollusk phylum). While both groups are invertebrates, they are not closely related through common ancestry.
The common name for spiders is simply "spider." The scientific name for spiders is "Araneae."
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and wiegh,
Along came a spider who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away!
Curds are a dairy productobtained by coagulating milk in a process called curdling. Whey is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained. The whole mess is similar to cottage cheese.
The spider similar to the huntsman is called the giant house spider.
The scientific name for a spider's home is "web." Webs are structures composed of silk threads produced by spiders to catch prey, protect their eggs, and serve as a retreat.
'Pepsis formosa' is the scientific, Latin or binomial name for the tarantula hawk wasp. The common name refers to the female's successful preying on far larger tarantula spiders. Specifically, the mother-to-be delivers a paralyzing sting near the spider's head. She then pulls the hapless, helpless spider below ground. She lays an egg on top of the spider and then closes up the burrow. She repeats these actions about twenty [20] times.
When the female tarantula hawk wasp is finished, she has about 20 eggs waiting to hatch into larvae. Each larva will have access to fresh food. In each of 20 burrows, they will feast upon their own immobilized, but still very much alive spider.
Spiders are classified as animals because they belong to the kingdom Animalia. They are multicellular, heterotrophic organisms that possess specialized cells and tissues, as well as a defined body structure with distinct organ systems. Additionally, spiders exhibit characteristics such as mobility, growth, and reproduction that align with the defining features of animals.
The scientific name for the black jumping spider is Phidippus audax.
Water spiders have hydrophobic hairs on their legs that trap air and create a buoyant force, allowing them to stand on the surface of the water. This adaptation helps them stay afloat and move across the water with ease.
The scientific name for the camel spider is Solifugae. Camel spiders are not actually spiders but belong to the order Solifugae, which is a distinct group of arachnids.
Spiders typically exhibit bilateral symmetry, meaning their bodies can be divided into two equal halves along a single plane. This symmetry helps them navigate their environment effectively and efficiently.
The scientific name of a grass spider is Agelenopsis.
The scientific name for the Trapdoor spider is "Mygalomorphae."
The scientific name for the Funnel Web Spider is Atrax robustus.

*araneae is the order that houses spiders, when you get to the family level, there are many.
Araneae is the scientific name for spiders.
There are tens of thousands of different kinds of spiders. Those that have been caught and classified have scientific names, but they frequently have common names if they regularly get noticed by people. There is no standard for these common names, so even within the same country the same species of spider could have more than one common name. In Canada, the same spider might have one common name in English and another common name in French.
In English we call the Salticidae "jumping spiders." But in Chinese they are called 蒼蠅虎 or just 蠅虎 (cang-ying hu or just ying hu). These words do not mean "jumping spider." They mean something like "blue fly tiger" (as in blue bot fly I guess) or just "fly tiger," i.e., they are predators of pesky flies just as tigers are predators of deer and other large mammals.
What are called "tarantulas" in the U.S. are in some places called "bird-eating spider." No spider eats more than the occasional bird, and not all spiders that do eat the occasional bird are tarantulas. "Tarantulas" is not a very good name, historically at least, because the name "tarantula" originally was given to a kind of wolf spider that is found in the region around the Italian city of Taranto. The scientific name for that kind of wolf spider is Lycosa tarantula and the general name in Latin for the "bird-eating" kind is Theraphosidae.
yes. the stone spider (lava lava batu) is commonly found in Borneo.
The scientific name for a daddy long leg is Pholcus phalangioides.
Scorpions belong to the order Scorpiones within the class Arachnida.
A wolf spider is called a wolf spider because of its hunting behavior that resembles that of wolves. They are solitary hunters that actively stalk and chase down their prey, much like how wolves hunt in the wild.
The scientific name for the wolf spider is "Lycosidae."
