  No. Insects have 6 legs, spiders have 8.

    Are they in some separate category?

      Yes, they’re arachnids.

      Both insects and arachnids are arthropods.

      They’re separate biological classes.
      So they’re about as far apart as you are from a reptile, bird or fish.

        Not exactly. Humans, birds, and reptiles are all within the phylum chordata, while arachnids and insects are both within the phylum arthropoda.

        Fish, interestingly, aren’t a real thing in terms of formal classification. The term is similar to bug in that we apply it to whichever creatures we feel fit the description.

        No, because spiders are super many, tiny, and scary, exactly like insects.

        Lembot_0006 is orders of magnitudes larger than most reptiles, and is one of a kind.

        I expect to lose this argument, but mom didn’t raise no quitter.

    Even when they pretend to have 6?

      Or when 2 legs fall off?

  No, but in a war they would side with the insects
