Spider \Spi"der\, n.[OE. spi[thorn]re, fr. AS. spinnan to spin;       -- so named from spinning its web; cf. D. spin a spider, G.       spinne, Sw. spindel. Seee {Spin}.]       1. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of arachnids             comprising the order Araneina. Spiders have the mandibles             converted into poison fangs, or falcers. The abdomen is             large and not segmented, with two or three pairs of             spinnerets near the end, by means of which they spin             threads of silk to form cocoons, or nests, to protect             their eggs and young. Many species spin also complex webs             to entrap the insects upon which they prey. The eyes are             usually eight in number (rarely six), and are situated on             the back of the cephalothorax. See Illust. under             {Araneina}.          Note: Spiders are divided into two principal groups: the                Dipneumona, having two lungs: and the Tetrapneumona,                having four lungs. See {Mygale}. The former group                includes several tribes; as, the jumping spiders (see                {Saltigrad[91]}), the wolf spiders, or {Citigrad[91]}                (see under {Wolf}), the crab spiders, or                {Laterigrad[91]} (see under {Crab}), the garden, or                geometric, spiders, or {Orbitell[91]} (see under                {Geometrical}, and {Garden}), and others. See {Bird                spider}, under {Bird}, {Grass spider}, under {Grass},                {House spider}, under {House}, {Silk spider}, under                {Silk}.          2. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of various other arachnids resembling             the true spiders, especially certain mites, as the red             spider (see under {Red}).          3.
