So, ants and bees form colonies, could my spider analogs from colonies? They’re the dominant species on the planet they live in, like humans are. The pseudo-spiders are about 2-3m long, about 1m tall and about 1m wide. They require about 3000 calories a day to function. The spider analogs are sexually dimorphic, with females having a larger abdomin and males having a slightly larger appearance.

$\begingroup$ Yes. And no. It all depends of the setup, and what you mean by colonies }i{. Right now we only know they're spiders or spider-like creatures and they are the dominant species (a quite blurry term, if I dare say so). We need much more to answer :). $\endgroup$– TortlienaMay 27 at 23:01

We have discovered one species of eusocial spider already. Having a colonial spider in your fictional world is a definite possibility.
