Spider
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.
Any one of various other arachnids resembling the true spiders, especially certain mites, as the red spider (see under Red).
An iron pan with a long handle, used as a kitchen utensil in frying food. Originally, it had long legs, and was used over coals on the hearth.
A trevet to support pans or pots over a fire.
A skeleton, or frame, having radiating arms or members, often connected by crosspieces; as, a casting forming the hub and spokes to which the rim of a fly wheel or large gear is bolted; the body of a piston head; a frame for strengthening a core or mold for a casting, etc.

Spider Quotations
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
Pablo Picasso
The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
William Blake
It appears to me that almost any man may like the spider spin from his own inwards his own airy citadel.
John Keats
Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.
Virginia Woolf
Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught.
Honore de Balzac
Any act often repeated soon forms a habit; and habit allowed, steady gains in strength, At first it may be but as a spider's web, easily broken through, but if not resisted it soon binds us with chains of steel.
Tryon Edwards
But with my last film, Spider it was agony. The money was always disappearing, nobody got paid, it was very difficult - and it's very distracting from the process of making the movie, of course. So I think things have been getting harder and harder.
David Cronenberg
I was bitten by a brown recluse spider. It got me as I was coming out of the shower. I'd never seen that kind of spider before, I'm from Canada and we don't get those types up there.
Elisha Cuthbert
His ambition is to be the spider in the World Wide Web.
John McCarthy
When I go to the garage to pick up my clubs, I clean the spider webs off.
John Ratzenberger
It's actually pretty complex, because there's two levels of reality in the narrative. One is what really took place, and the other is Spider's poisoned version of what took place.
Gabriel Byrne
We now fly with an airbus, which has 210 seats, six times the week to Palma to the spider of the air Berlin.
Niki Lauda
The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web.
Edwin Way Teale
I think this journal will be disadvantageous for me, for I spend my time now like a spider spinning my own entrails.
Mary Boykin Chesnut
The guy has to kill the spider and get the dead mouse outta the pool.
Leah Remini
Touch but a cobweb in Westminster Hall, and the old spider of the law is out upon you with all his vermin at his heels.
Henry Fox
A wisp of gossamer, about the size and substance of a spider's web.
Monica Baldwin
