  1. there is no scientific definition of "bug". the entire category is a social construct much like vegetables
  2. this person's first sentence defined spiderd as insects and the second sentence said they weren't

Neither of those two sentences define the spider as either insect or non insect. Did you even read them?

*Edit: I understood wrong your comment is valid but phrased weirdly

And the first sentence literally describes the scientific definition of bug...
