It's called smichut or "construct state", where two nouns are put together, and they for another word. Example:
בית - house + ספר - book = בית ספר - school
ארוחה - meal + בוקר - morning = ארוחת בוקר - breakfast

No, spiders are not insects. But it seems like you are implying that insects are not animals, is that what you are saying? That is also not correct.

Sure, biologically you are 100% right. They fall in the animal category, but not in the insects. I was just experimenting with words, sorry
