Class: arachnida
Spiders (order Araneae) are the best-known members of class Arachnida, and many people know scorpions (order Scorpiones) are also arachnids, but in fact there are several smaller, more obscure orders included in this class. These creatures are fewer and less widespread, and identification resources can be difficult to find.
