Spiders

Spiders are not insects, they are arthropods, animals with hard exoskeletons. Spiders have eight legs and fangs. Almost all spiders have some sort of poison that they use to stun and digest their prey. 
Spiders also spin webs to catch their prey and distinguish their territory. Every web is not only unique to the species of spider but also to each individual spider in the species. The thread of a spiders web is just as strong as steel, and is considered the strongest bio-fiber in the world. Webs are sticky and ensnare their prey while they deliver the final blow.
