Spider in Museum of Life and Science

We saw a giant spider in the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, North Carolina on 1st September 2008. The spider in this picture is about 6 inches long. If we count the number of legs of this spider, it is eight. We know that insect has six. What is going on with this spider? In fact, spider is not insect, it is arachnid.

Spiders like to stay around the web they build because they get everything they need including food and water. Spiderman in contrast would run around town to save lives. When insects are being trapped in the web, the spiders use vibrations to locate them. Spiderman would use his great vision to see things far away.
