Teacher hat on: Spiders are not insects, they are arachnids. Insects have six legs and three body parts: abdomen, thorax, head. Spiders have eight legs and two body parts. Spiders are more closely related to scorpions, lobsters, and shrimp than insects.
Teacher hat off: I have a fondness for spiders and spider webs.

None.
Anything having more than 4 legs and a nasty disposition is eliminated on sight. This is especially true for all members of the taxonomic class of Arachnida. They are dispatched with extreme prejudice.
Except crab. Crab are food. They are the only exception to my "arachnida rule". Oh, and lobster, whose closest genetic relative is the cockroach. 'Em are good eats too. Okay, two exceptions to my "death to bugs" rules. Grr. Fear me.

You meant subphylum of crustacea. I understand the confusion though. When we were in school, taxonomic nomenclature was much simpler an affair.
Point being, crabs are the spiders of the sea, and lobsters are bugs. Even so, they are mighty fine dipped in garlic butter after being properly cooked.
Now take off your teacher hat before you get hat head.

Science is difficult to keep up with. It changes so often. A few of the text books I had as an undergrad are now worthless because the science progressed far enough to disprove many of the tenets I was taught.
I feel bad for Physics PhDs. They might spend their entire career pursuing a theory and publishing dozens of articles, and then have it proven the theory was completely wrong. An entire career, all for nothing. That would be depressing.
