Cephalothorax means 'head chest', and it is exactly what it sounds like. Spiders have one, being the frontmost part of their bodies. Insects have a separate head and thorax, but spiders have their eyes and jaws (head) on the same part as their legs (thorax in insects).

A cephalothorax is a merged body part found in some arthropods like Spiders and scorpions, consisting of the head and thorax fused together. This structure helps in protecting the internal organs and providing support for the attachment of muscles and legs.
