Insects have three body segments (head, thorax, abdomen) and six legs, while arachnids typically have two main body regions and eight legs. Many spiders use silk not only for webs, but also for egg sacs, shelter, and safety lines.
Tips for better scores
- Count legs first: 6 usually means insect, 8 usually means arachnid
- Look for antennae: insects have them; spiders don’t
- Notice wings: many insects have wings; arachnids don’t
- Learn key terms like exoskeleton, molting, venom, and silk
- Watch for lookalikes such as mites, ticks, and wingless insects
