Chlorophytum comosum, usually called spider plant or common spider plant due to its spider-like look, also known as spider ivy, airplane plant, [2] ribbon plant (a name it shares with Dracaena sanderiana), [3] and hen and chickens, [4] is a species of evergreen perennial flowering plant of the family Asparagaceae.
The cephalothorax, also called prosoma in some groups, is a tagma of various arthropods, comprising the head and the thorax fused together, as distinct from the abdomen behind. [1] The terms prosoma and opisthosoma are equivalent to cephalothorax and abdomen in some groups.
In spiders, the cephalothorax and abdomen are joined by a small, cylindrical pedicel, which enables the abdomen to move independently when producing silk. The upper surface of the cephalothorax is covered by a single, convex carapace, while the underside is covered by two rather flat plates. The abdomen is soft and egg-shaped.
Cephalothorax or prosoma: One of the two main body parts , located towards the anterior end, composed of the head (cephalic region or caput) and the thorax (thoracic region), the two regions being separated by the cervical groove; covered by the carapace and bearing the eyes, legs, pedipalps and mouthparts [3]

The spider's body is divided into two main parts: a rectangular, slightly rounded cephalothorax and larger ovoid abdomen that is narrower to the rear. [14] The male has a carapace , the hard upper part of the cephalothorax, [ 15 ] that is between 1.9 and 2.3 mm (0.07 and 0.09 in) long and 1.5 and 1.8 mm (0.06 and 0.07 in) wide.
