Spiders are bugs or animals?

[Venom1080]

Bugs are in insect class and arachnids

no they are not. an arachnid has 8 legs, no wings, and usually eat only other insects.

 

[SuleymanC]

Is it really all that important?

Yes it is

 

[SuleymanC]

eat only other insects.

Is that mean they are insect as well?

 

[Venom1080]

Yes it is

well, your questions been answered like 5 times over now. spiders are arachnids, bugs are insects.
im really starting to think youre just a troll.

Yes it is

"Bug" is a slang term for an insect. Insects are animals. Spiders are arachnids which are also animals. So in answer to your question, yes spiders are animals.

Is that mean they are insect as well?

NO

This is a very, very straightforward question and you are over-complicating it.

All insects are animals. All "bugs" are animals. All arachnids are animals. All tarantulas are animals. All dogs are animals. All cats are animals. All humans are animals. All fish are animals. All ladybugs are animals. All birds are animals. All of these are in the kingdom Animalia, and thus are ALL ANIMALS.


And to clear it up further, both insects and arachnids are in the phylum Arthropoda, making them all arthropods. However, arachnids and insects split off into different subphylums, insects in Hexapoda and arachnids in Chelicerata. It should be noted that not all species in Hexapoda are insects and not all species in Chelicerata are arachnids.






All of this can be easily found using Google.

So you say arachnids fall under bug category right?hmmm

If we define bug as Insect then the answer is no.

Animalia-->arthopoda-->chelicerata-->arachnida
Animalia-->arthopoda-->hexapoda-->insecta

You have replied quickly enough that I am relatively certain you did not read any of the Wikipedia articles I linked, which you should do now, as well as this one: Taxonomy.

Then clearly comprehension is the problem here. You've been provided with all the resources to come to an educated conclusion on this matter.

I call them "pets".
I feed, water, remove the trash/old clothes, poo and provide each one a "home".

if you want to prove to some one that a spider is not a bug. tell them to google it, or send them a link. no need ti even make a thread on this.

[Chris LXXIX]
