spiderish
Like a web-spinner
Resembling or suggestive of a spider in appearance, movement, or manner.
Something spiderish might have long, thin limbs, move with quick skittering motions, or create an unsettling, predatory impression: His spiderish fingers crawled across the keyboard.
The word carries a faintly sinister or creepy connotation.
