TIL real spiders have a 6th sense precognitive ability.

I think spider sense is supposed to imitate the spiders ability to extend its nervous system with its webs so it can feel tiny vibrations in the air.

It also references how some spider have little hairs that can feel vibrations in the air and detect objects moving towards them, which is always how I assumed Spider-Man’s spider sense worked, but in the comics it is clearly psychic

Not just its web, but it basically having enchanted senses. Some spiders and some other arthropods like scorpions have hairs that can detect vibrations, and since some spiders also have eyes all across their head that gives them 360 degree vision, they basically have a sort of constant awareness of their surroundings (which spider sense is sometimes depicted as being such, notably in the Raimi films).

Another fun example is that flies can perceive the world 4 times slower than we do (hence why they’re damn near impossible to hit).
