As heard on NPR but let me show you English print on how Spiders make what it takes to make Music n unique way they listen to it

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2649457/Spider-webs-natures-GUITARS-Unique-silk-music-reveals-information-prey-mates-state-structure.html

Spider webs are nature's GUITARS: Silk 'music' created when insects pluck the threads reveals information about their prey

Study led by Oxford University found that spider silk transmits vibrations across a range of frequencies
When a silk thread is plucked like a guitar string, the sound it makes carries information about prey, mates and the structure of a web to a spider
Experts fired bullets and lasers at webs to study their vibrations and found they can be tuned to a range of harmonics
The findings could inspire invention of tiny light-weight sensors

scientists have found the creatures are musical in their own right.

Using lasers, researchers found spiders pluck their complex constructions like guitar strings to gather information about their surroundings.

Spider silk transmits vibrations across a wide range of frequencies so that when a thread is plucked, the sound created carries information about prey, mates, and even the structural integrity of a web.

The discovery was made by researchers from the universities of Oxford, Strathclyde, and Sheffield who fired bullets and lasers at spider silk to study how it vibrates.

They found that spider silk can be tuned to a wide range of harmonics.

For a doctor, your reading comprehension is rather poor. The insects referred to are the prey of the spiders.

Syntax obviously meant spiders. If he knew what he was talking about, he would have posted some pasta about crickets, cicadas or moths, all of which are insects which are capable of producing and responding to sound. Also keep in mind that you're assuming that a man who thinks satellites work the same way they do in Hollywood sci-fi movies knows the first thing about invertibrates.

Now that is just daft. Sure one can b picky re outside or inside skeleton or how many legs does it take to make a critter/bug/spider/

Now sure its Science that usually defines Wots what. On the other hand if one were to poll a typical user of Chans They wood feel comfortable with Spiders called Insects - Bugs- Critters.

I also defer to the USA Based expert on English as a Language and its often NonSense rules - Mark Twain

English "...ours is a mongrel language which started with a child's vocabulary of three hundred words, and now consists of two hundred and twenty-five thousand; the whole lot, with the exception of the original and legitimate three hundred, borrowed, stolen, smouched from every unwatched language under the sun, the spelling of each individual word of the lot locating the source of the theft and preserving the memory of the revered crime."

You who pander to Dr Phil?

You try to get respect but you don't expect any cause of basement you live in. - I speak to those who use the chan. And clearly as pointed out I did NOT call a Spider an Insect but others pointed out your poor reading skills. Probably as result of being English and having to look up to a more quality class of people across the Pond in France.

Cancer wood be someone daft as you calling self a Doctor. Perhaps you do cause you live to suck the balls of a real Doctor.

And I still wood endorse a spider being called an Insect cause after all its the English language and not French or Latin.

I am not angry. Calling a Spider whatEver is just nit picking and you no's it. A Scientist wood call a Spider
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Arachnida

And YES I had to look that up cause its been a tad to many years since Biology except I did remember the Phylum but sperling it was actually ok which shocked me

I have finished my Triple Espresso and albeit its a June gloom day re overcast and its tyme for my daily Run on the beach in truly most purrrrrrfect weather for running.

Bottom line of course is Spiders are usually called Insects/Critters/Bugs by most people and with few exceptions most people

So with that I leave you with a few more words of wisdom by Mark Twain

The Rules of Grammar

"I am almost sure by witness of my ear, but cannot be positive, for I know grammar by ear only, not by note, not by the rules. A generation ago I knew the rules~~-knew them by heart, word for word, though not their meanings~~-and I still know one of them: the one which says---but never mind, it will come back to me presently."

Now how dare you insult yourself? Go on tell me Y you insist on calling yourSelf Stupid?

After all you ain't any kind of Doctor and a few around here call you a Bug. I not b calling you a Bug - but that said its more accurate to call you a bug then to call yourSelf a Doctor.

Scorpions, harvestmen, ticks, and in fact all arachnids - not just spiders - have four pairs of legs (see illustrations above). Insects have three pairs.

Yea so true so true

Nor is The Doctor of TC, a Doctor.

Now on a hunt for sources that allow a Spider to be called an Insect - are you ready for this? Really ready? Come on you no you want it

Democritus the title of the father of Arachnology. In his Historia Animalia he included spiders with the insects, he divided them according to whether or not they spun webs and then on the basis of the types of webs they spun. He also reported on their web building techniques and reproduction. Not everything aristotle recorded was correct, however it was to be more than 1,800 years before anybody else wrote anything intelligent about spider biology.

"The first ever Professor of Entomology, the Frenchman Pierre Latreille (1762-1833) was the first to give spiders a number of genera within their own family, but

they were still considered as insects."

Knowledge of invertibrate biology has advanced somewhat since the 19th century, and their taxonomic classification has been adjusted accordingly. Don't let that stop your geriatric tardflailing though. It's hilarious.
