What's the difference between arachnology and entomology?

Arachnology


Definition:

  • (n.) The department of zoology which treats of spiders and other Arachnida.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The study, published in the current issue of the Journal of Arachnology, says that the spiders identify female Anopheles mosquitoes through their up-tilted abdomens — a resting posture they adopt after feeding on human blood.

Entomology


Definition:

  • (n.) That part of zoology which treats of insects.
  • (n.) A treatise on the science of entomology.
