A brief scene at a party. A drunk woman is protesting being cut off from the alcohol and is clearly self-medicating her grief of losing her son.

A crow is bitten by the spider and dies. A mouse is injected with spider venom and dies. Lots of dead animals (that look super fake) caught in spider webs: mouse, rat, bat, maybe a cat.

Even though real life animals weren't heramed, in the film several spiders are killed and mice are used for medical experimentation

Of course a bunch of spiders die, but in the webs there are a bunch of dead animals, including some rats, a bat, one cat, etc. No living cats that we see die.

The whole movie is about a small town being terrorized by an army of deadly spiders.

Sort of? A man is seen gasping for air while dying from a potent neurotoxin, but no one is actually choking him.

I'm not exactly sure what is meant here by "body horror," but there is a brief glimpse at a ravaged, dessicated corpse.

Spiders have multiple eyes. The worst part would probably be the spider egg sac that pulsates and could trigger trypophobia.
