Spiders
Spiders are not insects, instead they are arachnids, like scorpions and ticks. This is because they only have two sections of their body while insects have three sections.
This is why it’s incorrect to call a spider an insect; however, some people still do it because many people aren’t knowledgeable enough about spiders. Some day you could become a spider expert!
Even if you’re terrified of spiders, you should admit that they’re quite amazing. You should be impressed with how long it can take them to make a spider web! Spiders often make incredibly complex webs that can take them up to an hour to make!
