🕷️ Meaning: A full-length description of a spider with a black body, eight thin legs with four on each side of the body, and a tiny head that might have other detailing which is not visible here.
The 🕷️ Spider emoji refers to a black house spider, but as a generic emoji, it can be used for all spider species. Although these crawlers can signify human disgust and fear towards them, it suggests hard work, persistence, ‘trying again’, and pest-control (since they eat up other insects).

How and When to Use the 🕷️ Spider Emoji
- Since spiders and spider webs signify a sense of abandonment when it comes to a house, 🕷️ would be a great emoji to use in the context of ‘Halloween’.
- Building on the previous point, if you’re posting a Halloween look of yours or someone else’s that you loved, you can use 🕷️ in that post caption especially if there was spider makeup or a spider outfit design.
- If you’re terrified of spiders, and you just happened to see one, you can use 🕷️ while texting someone close about the near-death experience you had (after you’ve ran into a safe spot, of course). For instance, “I ALMOST DIED!!! THERE’S A SPIDER IN THE KITCHEN 🕷️”,
- If the picture you’re posting needs to have a caption that revolves around the theme of ‘persistence’, you can use 🕷️ in such contexts.
- Are you a Spiderman fan? Or you just find spiders and/or this emoji really cool? If so, you can use 🕷️ in your social media profile name.
- Use 🕷️ while sharing some personal spider photography on your social media handle or even while reposting someone else’s.
