Spider Orders
 
 

Scientists, Entomologists to be more precise, categorize groups of living entities as how they are related through the theory of evolution. In an order, there are classes, orders, suborders, families and genera, which constitute the living things that procreate with one another.

More than 1 million of the categorized 2 million species are arthropods, or insects (and spiders).

Class: Arachnida
Order: Araneae

Sub Orders No of Families Estimated # Examples
Labidognatha 90 32,000 House Spiders
Orthognatha 15 3,000 Tarantulas
Mesothelae 1 24 Segmented Spiders
