A spider is a type of arachnid arthropod animal lifeform, with a basic form that has been noted throughout the galaxy.
History and specifics
On Earth, many spider creatures are known to build intricate spiderwebs by instinct, with somewhat complex geometry, yet were not intelligent lifeforms. (TOS novel: Vulcan!)
On Kwettir, the lifeforms grew to a massive size. James T. Kirk, Spock, Leonard McCoy, and Montgomery Scott visited the planet in 2270, but were grabbed by a boy named Togor. He left them in a jar in his bedroom, but their lives were threatened when a spider climbed into the jar. (TOS comic: "To Swiftly Go...")
Simulations
During a holodeck drill controlled by Badgey aboard the USS Cerritos in 2381, the Dog became a carrier for a virus that de-evolved ship's personnel. One of the ship's crew turned into a giant spider. (LD video game: The Badgey Directive event: "In the Beginning")
