There isn't a real spider. The intricate engraving has many intertwined lines and some of them form what looks like a spider. According to the Treasury, the lines are engraved mechanically so it's just random chance that they come together to form patterns that our brains interpret as something else. 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 :)

The repeating designs by coincidence do appear to make owl- and spider-like images but it's absolutely not intentional.

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.
