Insects don’t have lungs. It also means their potential size is directly limited by the oxygen content in the air.
Which is why we don’t see cat sized insects roaming around.

Which is why you don’t see cat sized insects roaming around, I live next to a tarantula trail and some of them fuckers get BIG.

Spiders aren’t insects. Though like them, they don’t have lungs!

Arachnids are not insects though.

Yeah they followed paths, I think it’s a way of avoiding dangerous terrain. They are rather fragile beasts.
