This pretty well captures things! Insects that eat other insects are worth rooting for, but like you, Iโ€™m on team spider.

Spiders are no insects technically. But whatever...

Are either centipedes or spiders insects? I thought insects only had 6 legs

[โ€“] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 9 points 11 months ago

They are arthropods, just like lobsters and insects, but no, they are not insects. Spiders are arachnids.

Centepides actually only have 6 legs. You can see the six real legs if you look closely at a picture. The other "legs" work like legs, but are not actually legs.

I'm a severe arachnophobe but I still would rather have them than centipedes.
