      I’m not sure that an ‘opposite’ to a spider is easy to define – what aspects of a spider are you thinking about, and which species of spider specifically? If it’s a hairy spider, like a tarantula, then we could think about what animal(s) have no hair, and there are lots of those! For example, there are hairless mammals such as hairless dogs and hairless cats and hairless fish which have scales rather than hair. If you’re thinking of a spider which is a carnivore (meat eaters), then we could think about mammals which are herbivores (plant eaters) such as elephants and pandas or fish which eat marine plants.
