  Are they in some separate category?

    Yes, they’re arachnids.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnid

    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.

        Yeah I simplified it a bit cause I didn’t want to open a can of dinosaurs.

        But all fish, no matter which classification you use, are also part of the phylum chordata, just like reptiles, birds and mammals. @mech s statement still holds true.

        This is misleading. Formal classification existed for a long time before phylogenetic classification became the standard.

      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.
