Something Real And Something Not.
Spiders are blessed with a Blemye like aspect though they exist and Blemyes probably don't. The Blemye is a mythical being bereft of a head whose haunted eyes look out from a face in its chest. The spider is a corporeal creature who hopes for prey through unreadable orbs which like those of the blemye are mounted arguably
headlessly in the cephelothorax, again arguably also the closest thing the spider has to a chest and in fairness the closest thing she has to a head. Spiders do all their dreaming an planning then without a proper head..But still they manage.

I just had to get that off my chest... or was it out of my head? (And I must tell you I’ve been out of my head a few times too. Don’t tell the spiders I get legless though 🤫 because they’ll have a field day and wrap me tight in gossamer I don’t doubt!)

Mr A , I don't know about educational but the cephalothorax is a thing and Blemyes were once believed to be a thing. Both worth a Google ...
