'''Spiders''' are a group of [[arachnid]]s characterized by possessing eight legs and usually 6-8 eyes (depending on species), a fused [[head]] and thorax and a large abdomen. Both [[land]] and [[sea]] varieties are known, with many of the [[sea spider]]s being known for their spindly legs and often strange appearances. Spiders feed on small prey such as [[insect]]s, although some exotic varieties are blood-drinkers. <ref>[http://spiders.ucr.edu/dermatol.html Entomology of Spiders; University of California, Riverside.]</ref> While spiders resemble insects in many ways, they are not true insects, but [[arachnid]]s.
