Spiders do not posess self consciousness, or at least I have never read that they do.
But...
Would a spider know or "know" or recognize a spider web not made by itself or one of its kind? Would a spider get caught in another spider's web?
(Please, do NOT ask "ai" or search engines (I could do that myself, cmon), answer from your own experience/expertise only)
PS: Now I wonder if there are spiders that hunt in packs, I have also never seen that.
@afreytes Spiders that HUNT do it always alone, AFAIK, but some do build communal webs.
Also some spiders are spider hunting specialists, so they'll intentionally wander in other spiders webs to try and eat them.
As for more general understanding the structure of webs and whatnot, hard to say....
@VileLasagna JRR Tolkien LIED TO ME. Do they at least speak the language of darkness that the one ring allows you to understand?
@VileLasagna Bilbo could understand them in the Mirkwood. I don't remember if they understood him ^^'
