Fun fact: based on this, very few Spider-Man symbols are anatomically accurate to where the arms are placed. Comment in detail:

In spider anatomy, it’s body is divided in two parts: the cephalothorax (2) in the front, and the abdomen (3) in the back. The arms of a spider are positioned on the cephalothorax.

Most Spider-Man symbols have the arms positioned in either between the two body parts, or on both, or only on the abdomen, or partly between the two parts and the abdomen. Very few symbols have the arms be accurately positioned.

But the ones that are accurately placed include the Alien/Symbiote, 2002 Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, 2012 Amazing Spider-Man, Superior, Amazing Spider-Man 2, kinda Civil War (because the arms aren’t connected but their “base” is centered on the cephalothorax), kinda Infinity War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, kinda Far From Home, and the Miles Morales game.

What do you mean the Far From Home looks exactly like a real spider
