Arachnophagy

Arachnophagy (/əˈræknɒfədʒi/, from Greek ἀράχνη aráchnē, 'spider', and φαγεῖν phagein, 'to eat'), also known as araneophagy, describes a feeding behaviour that involves eating arachnids, a class of eight-legged arthropods that includes spiders and many other species groups including scorpions, ticks, and mites. Aside from arachnophagy by non-human creatures, the term can also refer to the practice of eating arachnids among humans.
