Is there a spider on a one dollar bill?
Yes, there is a spider and an owl. The spider is at the front in the top right corner at the right side of the 1 curve and the owl is at the left 1 curve. Both are extremely hard to see but this is what I found.
Sorry .... URBAN LEGEND. Neither of these items are an intentional part of the design. They're artifacts of the printing process. According to the Treasury, the design is created by a mechanical engraving machine that produces intricate patterns called engine turnings. The repeating designs by coincidence do appear to make owl- and spider-like images but it's absolutely not intentional.
The appearance of images in random patterns is a quirk of the human brain, which likes to find order even when there's chaos. It's the same as seeing a man (or a rabbit) in the moon, or a cloud that looks like an elephant. Psychologists have studied the phenomenon for years; it's known as Pareidolia and is well-understood.

There isn't a real spider. The intricate engraving has many intertwined lines and some of them form what looks like a spider.

It's the same mental tricks that let you see the face of a man (or a rabbit) in the moon or clouds shaped like Massachusetts :)
