Spider

The Spider can be found dangling from fruit bearing trees once it has been shaken by the player. They are common and easy to catch, since they don't try to escape from the player if you approach them.

Donating to the Museum
As with all insects in the series, the spider can be donated to the Museum followed by a small talk by Blathers, the curator.

In City Folk
Blathers, the curator of the museum, will accept the spider for donation to the insect exhibit. He talks of the spider;

"Horrors! My apologies, but I get rather jumpy around fast, multi-legged critters like this one, eh wot? Even worse is the fact that spiders have eight eyes! Even when it looks away, it can see our every move! I've heard some people worship the spider... And I've also heard that you will not find me in those places."

After donating, the spider can be found on a tree in the central terrace of the insect exhibit. It will come down out of the tree on a thread when approached.
