Spider. The Hebrew word, 'accabish, in Job 8:24; Isaiah 59:5, is correctly rendered "spider", but, the Hebrew word, semamith, is wrongly translated "spider" in Proverbs 30:28; it refers probably to some kind of lizard.

(But "there are many species of spider in Palestine: some which spin webs, like the common garden spider; some which dig subterranean cells and make doors in them, like the well-known trap-door spider of southern Europe; and some which have no web, but chase their prey upon the ground, like the hunting-spider and the wolf-spider." - Wood's Bible Animals).
