I think these have been classified as 'bugs'. Go here for an explanation.... http://talk.planetfour.org/#/boards/BPF0000002/discussions/DPF00009es (just realised the initial post is 2 months old).

They're 'bugs' to me too, David. Thanks for the 'plug' to my discussion JM. I just wanted to add (for any visitors) that the link above doesn't take you to an 'official' classification scheme. Some bits of it might get picked up and used later, but don't take it as 'truth'. (Still been useful to me though).
The 'SCS' got kicked around because, apparently, there isn't one available and the science team might need one in the future for a spider classifying sub-project here on P4 (not confirmed). There's a weightier article on spider formation and classification somewhere on here, so I'll find it and post it here later. It'll fit well here.
David. That means it's a free for all - bugs, lice, weevils, choice is yours. I've got an image or two of these 'bugs', but they're so big and 'worn out' looking that I call them dinasaurs. I'll post when I find...

Doh!! - On the SCS thread of course. http://planetfour.org/subjects/standard/50e73e3c5e2ed211dc001377.jpg (Dinasaurs)?
David: If bugs got sooooo much bigger than those, they might end up looking like 'flat' landscape and fade away. Kinda evolution sort of stuff. Related to this, and well worth a look is wassocks 'Evolution or degradation' thread. The image IS very long. No answers yet, so jump in. http://talk.planetfour.org/#/boards/BPF0000002/discussions/DPF0000ccj

....and the article (Google doc) on spider formation and classification is found. Let's hope you call back David - It's good stuff.

Kitharode, after all the effort you have put in, I hope so too!
