Spiders are not insects. They are arachnids - a type of animal which has two body segments, eight legs, no wings and no antennae. Spiders are very ancient and have been found to have existed as far back as 2 million years ago!

Most spiders are harmless to humans, although a few will bite and inject venom.

Fun Fact: If you have a fear of spiders you suffer from arachnophobia!
