Best Answer

yes, pretty much all bugs do.

Spiders are cheliceriforms, which placed them under arthropods. All athropods, which include hexapods (flying insects) crustaceans (lobsters shrimps crabs) cheliceriforms (horseshoe crabs and spiders) and myriapoda (centipedes and millipedes) have an exoskeleton.

Technically they are not bugs nor insects they are arachnids.
