A scientist who studies spiders and other arachnids like scorpions, mites, and ticks.
From Greek 'arachne' (spider) + '-logia' (study) + '-ist' (one who practices). The professional title emerged in the 19th century as spider research became a distinct scientific discipline.
Modern arachnologists have discovered that spiders can learn, remember, plan hunts, and even recognize individual humans—they're far more cognitively complex than we thought, and some species have vision nearly as good as ours!
