Are Symbiotes Spiders?

Unlikely you'd have alien species that are a close match to Earth arachnids.

The symbiote most likely just adopts characteristics of its initial host, so that those characteristics get retained and inherited by secondary hosts such as Eddie Brock / Venom and Cletus Kasady / Carnage.

Did you ever see the Star Trek Voyager episode  Distant Origin?Not disagreeing with you friend,but a possible other side of the coin.

Yup. Interesting article.

Wasn't there another Star Trek episode explaining why there are so many species in the galaxy that look humanoid? 

IIRC, it was called "Budget Constraint" ?

As I said,I'm not a super fan,so I don't remember seeing the episode you mention,although I would watch it.My da loved the original series,and I grew up with TNG so have seen all of those.With the other offshoots,I'm more casual.Perhaps someone will chime in and point me in the direction?The Distant Origin rang a bell as I watched it just recently.I try to catch Voyager now,watch when it's on due to that episode.
