someone has moved the spider image from 'Animals' category in the 
'Insects' subcategory - 
http://openclipart.org/clipart//Animals/Insects/spider.svg

this is not correct, because spiders are not insects, but arachnids - 
see this for more details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnid

basically you can tell each one apart counting the legs: 6 legs for 
insects, 8 legs for arachnids
