Certainly someone figured this out previously, but I thought it was funny, it is mundane and pointless, and I must share it.
Make an italic left parenthesis, an italic right one, then put a smiley in the middle.

Here’s a whole swarm of 'em !!

They look more like TIE-Fighters to me.
Or happy dudes wearing crooked headphones.
Princess Leia?
They look like little gals with pigtails.
AAAAH! Dude! You need to be putting warnings in your titles for arachnophobes! You didn’t say there’d be PICTURES!.
Brr…now I have to smash my monitor with a rock!
Actually, it looks like a group of Hasidic Jews out for a walk.

Hey gaiz, m i doin it rite?
You’re doing a lot better than the OP, that’s for sure. 
That’s incredible. I bow to your wisdom and knowledge.
How long did that take you to make by the way? I’m guessing no less than 30 minutes to get it all worked out from scratch.
Longer than I’d care to admit…
Okay, probably about 30-40 minutes, I changed a couple parts a few times (mostly the head, the original had 6 eyes but they were all spaced out by a line of :o head pieces so it looked weird and elongated). Originally the front legs ended before the edge of the pic too, that’s what the edit fixed, I decided later that it looked weird if the legs ended prematurely. I’m still not entirely happy with it, but there’s only so much you can do with 4 colors and without the luxury of “darkening” spots like you can in ASCII/Unicode art (and it bugged me that 
doesn’t work because it spaces the lines a tad too much).
If anyone is wondering that front :o bulb is the head, the :Ds are open eyes and the s are supposed to be blinked eyes, it was hard to get that part to work out.
Yeah, I ain’t seeing spider in the OP.
Is there a backwards “k”? That could work, the closest I can find is a Cyrillic “Zhe” (Ж), but it looks awkward.

maybe not
That looks like kind of one of those water skimmers actually.
Reminds me of a Robotech style Mech for some reason.
I do see a spider in the OP though. Kind of like a swarm of babies where the legs are to small to see and they look like a fuzzy body.
What about

hmmm, no, prolly not
