For one, Spiders are arachnids. They have 8 legs and sometimes fangs or multiple eyes. Insects (not arachnids) sometimes have wings and less legs than spiders.
See the legs, first - spiders have eight, insects have six. Insects have antennae and spiders do not. Let us now consider the number of body parts - insects have three and spiders have two. In addition, if the animal is hanging by a thread, it is a spider. Spiders make silk insects do not.
Another big difference is that the spider has a cephalothorax and an abdomen. An insect instead has a head thorax and abdomen
