What are three other arachnids besides spiders?
Spiders have all kinds of names. Sometimes people call two or more entirely different kinds of spiders by the same name. That is why scientists prefer to use their own terms, names in Latin that give both a genus and a species.
One example of confusing naming is "banana spider." Sometimes people used that name to apply to a very large spider from the Amazon River region that has enough venom to kill five people. That kind of spider often hides out in clusters of bananas and when the cluster gets harvested the spider may go along for the ride. (Not too long ago one of them showed up in a restaurant kitchen in London.) But people also use the name to apply to a whole genus of spiders that make very large webs using a kind of gold-colored silk. These spiders are also very large, and some of them are mostly yellow. But other than the color they have nothing to do with bananas. They are also harmless. There may be other spiders that get called banana spiders because they are large and mostly yellow. The problem is when somebody says something like, "Banana spiders can't hurt you," and the other person then tries to get friendly with the Brazilian Wandering Spider. Or somebody may claim, "Banana spiders are the deadliest thing on eight legs," and somebody in Florida may totally freak out because their home has the webs of some of the big spiders that would only bite you if you grabbed one and put it in fear for its own life, and that would not do any great damage even if they did give you a defensive bite.
People give their pet spiders all kinds of names. Who knows why?

What type of spider is red or orange with a yellow triangle on its back?
If you don't hear anything there is a site that you can send a picture of it and they will try and help. http://www.whatsthatbug.com/spiders.html There are probably several different spiders world-wide that fit the description in the question. Therefore this is only one of possibly several answers.
Here in southeast Texas, we have a spider which I think matches your description, which is commonly known as a "Golden Garden Spider." The Golden Garden Spider is considered a beneficial["good"] spider in that it is not poisonous, does not bite or sting, and captures a tremendous amount of insects which are NOT considered beneficial.
The Golden Garden Spider usually "sets up" their web in the early evening, leaving it up and in operation during the night hours. It then generally "disappears" during the day, to reappear with a newly created web the next evening. Sometimes, they will keep/maintain the web for as much as a few weeks. Another unusual feature of the web is that it is generally created in a vertical plane, across "pathways" through the vegetation. This can be very disconcerting for anyone walking down that trail in the dark, and into the large, tough web in the face!!! In spite of this, many gardeners, and a few spider fanatics have assured me that the Golden Garden Spider is totally HARMLESS, and that we should protect and preserve them as much as possible.
What baby spiders hang onto as they travel through the air?

What species of spider eat other spiders?
Many female spiders eat their counterparts following sexual activity and before eggs are laid to prevent the male from eating his offspring.

Specifically there are species that exclusively consume other spiders as their regular diet such as the Portia jumping spider, which is perhaps the smartest spider.
How does the spider plant reproduce?
Spider plants will shoot out "babies" only once it becomes root-bound in its pot; if you want it to 'baby" you need to keep it in a small pot and not transplant like you would any other plant. Once it bears offspring, you may transplant but only in one in larger diameter pots. For optimum plants, spiders should be used as a hanging plant rather than a table top, or at the very least, should be on a pedestal no wider than the bottom of the pot the plant is in and at least 2x the heighth of the pot and plant. They also like alot of light so put them in a window, but not in one where the direct sun will beat in on it or you may "cook" your plant.
Do Tent spiders travel in groups?
It depends. If the spider was nested and did not surf the current of the air when it was young. then their is a possibility that there are more spiders around the one. seeing how most adult spiders travel only a coupal feet away from the birth grounds or territory.
Transulas do not eat birds. They are a species of large, spider-like creatures found in the "Spiderwick Chronicles" book series, known for their hunting and scavenging habits in forests. They primarily consume insects and small creatures.
How can you tell how old a spider is?
You can calculate an orb weavers size from its web, but that's about all. Given a strict diet, the length of time a particular species goes between molting can estimate age, but this is hardly worth the controlled conditions required. Some ages can be 'estimated' by color/pattern changes after a molt,depending on species.
Typically, a spiders age is not scaled in time, but rather the number of molts. Each of these periods is called its 'instar',and after a final molt, considered adult.(full grown)
