Are spiders social animals

Spiders are generally not considered social animals, as most species are solitary and prefer to hunt and live alone. However, some species, like the communal spider (e.g., Anelosimus eximius), exhibit social behaviors, living in groups and sharing webs. These social spiders can cooperate in hunting and share the care of their young. Overall, while some spiders can display social tendencies, the majority are solitary creatures.
